Amazon is certainly suggesting Authors they consider you may be interested in in the hope that you will buy. But they are certainly not in any position to push anything on you. The choice is ours.
They aren't in a position to force me to buy anything, but they can certainly push all sorts of book at me saying "don't you want to buy this". It was useful back when the suggestions weren't a bunch of Kindle Unlimited authors that I hadn't heard of. It's a bit like going to a grocery store and asking for an lime and the grocer saying "Wouldn't you like a nice lemon instead?"
