I doubt it would hurt Amazon at all. In fact, if you could propose a way to do it without any serious UX or security concerns, they'd probably sponsor the effort.

There's a whole lot more to e-commerce than accepting customer information.

Yeah: unless Chrome also decides to handle shipping and fulfillment, and sets up a brick and mortar pickup location down the street from me, I continue to prefer to purchase products available on Amazon (to the point where I recently got sold on the idea of buying something, couldn't find it on Amazon, and so bought one of its competitors instead as I just didn't want to deal with a non-Amazon shipment).
