The items already cost what the customer will pay. Jeff Bezos cares if he makes that much less profit. Also, there is more fixed cost than the labor (facility, lights, certain robots, etc).
The article quotes a rate of 300 items per hour.
If it were 100 items per hour, you'd still be talking about ten cents per item of labour cost.
No-one would care if their items cost that much more.
