I use Gmail, so I'm quite happy that Amazon doesn't automatically share the details of my purchases with Google.
Furthermore, it seems weird to be upset (let alone infuriated) about having to use "Amazon's closed wall system" to search your past orders; you have to use "Amazon's closed wall system" to shop for items and to place orders and to do literally everything else related to buying things on Amazon. I don't even see how it makes sense to talk about a "closed wall system"——as if that's a bad thing——when it comes to Amazon's retail store.
