Do you think Bezos personally signs off on every decision every executive in every unit ever takes?
Amazon is an Empire and each unit is run by its own bureaucracy.
That is why Audible has one set of policies, KDP another, and APub a third. They aren't all even in the same time zones.
So yes, they not only each make their own decisions and deals, they also pay each other when they cooperate. It's part of how the profitability of the units is measured. And how the execs are evaluated.
Each unit has a mission statement --make money-- and a lot of latitude about how to do it.
They won't sabotage each other but they won't bleed for each other either.
