But as things stand, it appears that some non-Prime customers are complaining about not getting Prime benefits for free.

Instead of adding benefits for Prime members, there are several examples of Amazon subtracting benefits from nonmembers. Much slower shipping is one example. Also, Amazon Fresh delivery is no longer available AT ALL without Prime membership (previously there was a $10 delivery fee for nonmembers). The Amazon Store Card used to offer 5% cash back for Prime members, 3% for nonmembers; now nonmembers don't get ANY cash back.
If Amazon thinks these sorts of things are making me more likely to pay for Prime again, they're wrong. They've made me angry instead.
