That's a bit of pseud insight. Yes, all major corporations want to expand their business, but the business culture of companies can be markedly different.
I'm not so sure that Hachette's decision is so bad, either. Public complaints by major companies about Amazon abusing its market position will at some point motivate regulators to take a much closer look at Amazon. In my perception it's also more damaging for Amazon's brand, as it shows that they put their squabbles with suppliers ahead of serving their customers.
