Yes, that's precisely the point. It was because Standard Oil WAS so bad that it hasn't been allowed to happen again.
Personally I don't think that there's the slightest chance that Amazon will become a monopoly, or anything close to it. There will always be rivals.
One thing to note - which rivals really should watch and learn from - is that Amazon have loyal customers because they offer superb customer service. People appreciate that, and keep going back to Amazon because of it.
