The other question is-why would they want to? Someone asked on Quora why Apple wasn't interested in manufacturing in the US, and one answer, which applies to Amazon as well was-they don't see themselves as merely US companies anymore-they see themselves as global companies-and soon the majority of their customers will be in China.
