I guess USPS/FedEx/UPS drivers also have a lot of accumulated experience and 'tribal' knowledge that Amazon drivers lack.

Agree with this. Amazon drivers will place a package propped on center of door clearly visible from street, where a UPS/FedEx driver will tend to place it in a discreet manner.

Amazon also is still lacking the web access to manage the delivery that I get with UPS and FedEx.

The difference is that Amazon treats their drivers like garbage http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-amazon-drivers-2016121...

UPS and Fedex pay drivers enough to care.

UPS drivers have their own union, which protects their jobs and benefits, providing an incentive to be efficient and provide quality results.

Amazon delivery drivers have no incentive, thus terrible service.

Disclaimer: when I have to order through Amazon, I have them flag my account to use traditional delivery methods because Amazon delivery is trash.
