I would say that most businesses who has one reseller who controls 64% of their sells would consider that a major problem. It's neither dumb nor disingenuous. We have all seen that Amazon is fond of playing hardball with it's suppliers (another aspect in which Amazon follows the Walmart model).
You should care about competition or the lack thereof. Competition is what makes the free market work and forces innovation. Otherwise, you would be dealing with companies like the Post Office, or the pre-break up AT&T (remember the old comedy skits "We are AT&T and we don't have to care"?)
