I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Amazon made a choice and it might be for hard nosed business reasons or out of a sense of decency, or both. The only thing we know about it is that we don't know the reason.

I've never thought of hard nosed business as nefarious. A businessman represents his investors and stockholders first, by law. Not doing that is nefarious. Doing it is his job.

I didn't see the article as cynical. Sure he questions Amazon's motives but he doesn't make assumptions about what they are. He wonders. And either way, he approves.
