But it's unfair to suggest that they're the "moral" choice simply because they failed (though not from lack of trying) to keep up with evil Amazon.
The only word I'd change in this is "unfair" - I'd say either "naive" if the person making the claim actually believed it, or "hypocritical" if they didn't. "Moral" and "business" go together like ""Sun" and "cold", or "Space" and "small".
