Maybe companies have no obligation to benefit society but they certainly do benefit from society. In the case of Amazon, as they are a "parcel company" they benefit for instance a lot from the transport infrastructure like roads and streets ... that are build and kept by taxes.
It's a mutually-beneficial arrangement. Think of the amount of business that Amazon brings to the Post Office and other parcel delivery companies. Everybody wins.
