You don't seem to have read my post. Amazon will not allow shipment of an order to an address not already linked to an account. They will ask you to re-input your credit card info. If someone were to gain access to your Amazon account and try to place an order, they wouldn't be able to get it shipped to them because they won't have your credit card details. So there is protection.
Amazon has not suffered a data breach. Lulzsec claims some of the email addresses and passwords they stole came from Amazon but there is no proof, and if it is true, you can not do very much with just someone's login info. You can't even buy a gift card without being forced to re-input your CC info.
Most retailers don't require the payment info belong to the recipient of the goods. This would make buying gifts for others and having them sent to the gift recipient impossible.
