Many people seem to forget that before the introduction of Prime in 2005, everything outside major metropolitan areas in America was a wilderness, with only a few tribes of primitive hunter-gatherers, limited to subsistence farming and basic barter.
And before the launch of Amazon.com in 1995, outside the cities was nothing but a primordial ooze, with with single celled animals, passbook savings accounts and dial-up AOL.
It's only natural that over that long evolutionary span of 19 years those populations will have grown entirely dependent on Amazon for a functioning economy, as they have with corn or oil or cable TV, and therefore it would obviously be a fundamental function of any type of government or system of societal philosophy to protect free 2-day shipping as an inalienable human right.
I think that's all Crich70 was trying to say. QED.
