No, with that market share they are really not just any big retailer. They are the biggest retailer - and as such they have higher chances to demand and receive favourable terms than any other retailer. It would actually surprise me if Amazon would freewilly agree to terms that are worse than any of their competitors.

It has market domination and it has to be scrutinized closely if it abuses this position.

Abuse how? In a contract between retailer and supplier both sides have to mutually agree. If Amazon had so much power as you like to believe, than negotiations would be over within a week.
