Who ever owns .wedding owns the business vertical for weddings? This just doesn't add up. There might be good reasons to split Amazon up, but this isn't one of them.

No, the argument is that Amazon is not the only organisation with a rightful interest in the ".book" top level domain and so should not have been granted exclusive control over it.
I guess the second argument is that the arrogance displayed in saying things like "no, there shouldn't be any commons on the internet" (which is what closing such a generic tld does) is evidence that they have grown beyond what is healthy for society.
