The old, old, old and utterly obvious answer that is forever ignored is that Amazon is massively dominant in English-speaking electronic publishing. They are so dominant there isn't else to "pick on."

For everyone's convenience, the next sentence after the passage Rizla quoted was:
As others have pointed out, this is not something unique to Amazon, although due to their industry position, they do make an obvious (shorthand) target for anyone's comments.
Though I suspect Rizla's reply may have been a little tongue in cheek, it not only begs the question, but invites the observation that truth is often to be found in jest. Otherwise it is a case of being hoist by his own petard!
