And "Amazon alerted the government to a serious issue, and the DoJ agreed with Amazon's understanding based on their own analysis" is just as valid an interpretation.
Honestly, I would be very worried if the DoJ agreed with Amazon and yet overlooked the supporting rhetoric that Amazon provided -- it would show a lack of intelligence that would say worrying things about my government.
It would be a problem if the DoJ
disagreed with Amazon, but ruled in their favor anyway. And they could do that with their own handmade unique arguments as well.
