> Bezos famously says Amazon's "secret sauce" is "obsessive compulsive focus on the customer." Isn't this move at odds with that focus?

Depends who you mean by "customers". Customers will be advertisers, and you bet they'll obsess over making a great product for them.

I wouldn't be too sure. There was a time where there were plenty of online competitors for purchasing such items, and what made Amazon stand out was user accessibility. Once he won that market, for sure he was just lucky with the timing to hit the billions.
