Sure - but even then, how can such a policy be justified. They can not claim it is for the benefit of the people.

Why not? Amazon dodges taxes everywhere it operates, which directly impacts us, the citizens. But it is so convenient that people use it nonetheless.
So the government is trying to help make local shops a bit more convenient to use in response, wihch would benefit the people.

Shouldn't they simply curb the (alleged) tax evasions then?
That is people do not have any way to say what they want and what trade-offs they are willing to accept, they have to choose between two or three horrible bundled packages, which end up doing things only small minority wants.
As long as we do not have a way to vote for individual policies, and to trade our support for a policy with other people we are doomed to have governments that do more harm than good.
