Amazon doesn't even pay a dividend. Do you think suppliers are just gifting their products to Amazon? Amazon is a pretty low-margin company on the whole.
Have you seen the margin? You don't know what you're talking about.
Not OP but just letting people know this kind of data is easily available for public companies: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AMZN/amazon/operating-margin
Less than 5% is definitely considered low-margin. Apple manages >40% by comparison. Although Amazon's half a trillion dollars of revenue still turns that into a big pile of cash of course.
