I'm not confusing anything.
I'm disagreeing with your descriptions, and I don't think they are accurate.
For example, you assert that retailers are the generators and enforcers of public morality. I disagree, and view them as
reflections of public morality, and are often subject
to public morality.

I don't think you are judging or attacking Amazon per se. Rather, I am attempting to identify problems and disagreements with your interpretation of the situation.
To wit: I view this as an instance of "editing" rather than "censorship."
Nor do I view Amazon's actions as "undemocratic."
I also believe that if we follow your premises to their logical conclusions, the society would violate the rights of retailers and stand the basic concept of "free expression" on its head.
Feel free to request further clarifications.
