Even if the anti-trust authorities make their move on Amazon, I don't see how that proves your point, whatever it might be (besides your apparent general dislike of Amazon). Sure those institutions are supposed to right the wrongs but they're just human institutions. They can err and they can act for all sorts of wrong reasons, and I think the quality of jobs someone creates is the last thing on their mind.
