Let's assume that the motivation is to increase profitability.

The thing is, Amazon profitability is fine as is.
They have been expanding their infrastructure by billions of dollars a year purely out of revenues, paying cash instead of taking out loans or selling equity.
An example of that investment is the warehouse in the article.
The moment amazon stops building new warehouses, they'll start reporting scary net revenue. At that point, I suppose we'll see waves of articles about how Amazon must be *overcharging* consumers to make so much money...
