And google (.... or alphabet)? Between their domination of mobile OS and search engines, I think they have equal lasting strength as Amazon. Plus their communication tools aren't exactly uncommon either, albeit replaceable.

Who says their domination of search engines is dominant? Isn't Bing starting to gain some serious market share?

According to one analysis, Google has over 90% of the global search market. What's crazy is that its market share includes virtually 0 in China, where it backed out/was forced out.

I too have heard about Bing's growth, but how much of that is NOT because of it being default for windows 10 and Cortana searches? I think default-bing searches make up >90% of all bing searches (as opposed to going to bing.com or setting it as the default on your browser), but I'd love to see the data on that.
Google became a verb which demonstrates a solid position. I was interviewing at Yahoo and was given a project problem. The interview said "Feel free to Google stuff to build the project", I joked back "Don't you mean Yahoo it?" He laughed and said "No, you can use Google. We all use Google here, it's fine."
I think they're pretty dominant
