Ignorance is their position: They refuse to expend the effort to find out that which is easily accessible to them... we all agree on that. They refuse to enlighten themselves out of fear of the unknown (ie, going out of business), which is their problem.
I am actually a good example of the
non-deification of Amazon: I put my books in the Kindle store, and made no more money off of them, nor received any other perks from the effort; I removed my books, and it has not cost me a thing, in profit, popularity or cred. Publishers sold product before Amazon, and other retailers sell product today despite not being part of Amazon. Even Oprah has not turned the entire country into Amazon-zombies.
Any company or publisher that cannot see that is being willfully ignorant.
