Well, the US economy is enormous to start with. Then, a good portion of it is in capital goods and products that don't lend themselves to online commerce. And, finally, there are a lot of people who don't care for Amazon and do the sensible thing: spend their money elsewhere, without wasting time on toothless crusades of the "sound and fury" Shakespearean type.
