First off, "simple" is relative. A laptop stand is relatively simple, that's just what it is.

So, you're saying we stand to lose original making of products that are easy for Amazon to copy. That's exactly what I'm saying isn't that important.

You point 3 is what you should do if your product is not innovative or cannot compete with a generic AmazonBasics version. If it's truly better, or complex enough that it simply won't be copied by Amazon, then make it and you won't have issues.

If Amazon is the only company willing to make a product, that gives them a monopoly by definition. When have consumers benefited when they only have one choice?

In his case 3 there will be no AmazonBasics version either, since there won't be a product for Amazon to analyze and copy.
