While that is certainly true, Amazon doesn't exactly have a reputation as a great place to work where employees are treated well and respected as assets. Amazon is basically trying to take the fact that they have to pay more to get someone to work for them than other companies and spin that as a positive. They are also trying to do the rent seeking thing (Amazon has the biggest lobby in Washington) and get government to drive up the cost for their competitors.
In general, minimum wage is a way for unskilled labor to get their foot in the door, gaining experience and skills. Few people stay at minimum wage for long.
