Who do you think builds and maintains the infrastructure Amazon uses to provide those useful services? How do you think it gets paid for?

Depends on the infrastructure you are referring to. Things like roads are paid for with gas taxes and commercial trucking taxes that Amazon pays automatically in their shipping costs. They aren't exempt from that.
