It’s also convenience. 2 days and not thinking about shipping. It’s more than just calculating the total of all you pay for shipping IMO

Many sellers offer free shipping without prime. Or offer the same item cheaper than prime with a slightly longer shipping delay.

aka several logins, several places I have to maintain credit cards for (depending on which one I get most points on), several services that can get hacked and leave my details in a public database, etc...

Not different logins. The same item, also on Amazon, sold without Prime shipping is very often cheaper than with Prime. Of course Amazon defaults to not showing you this.
