I've noticed the same pattern. Presumably they would rather lose business in the short term (by scaring away time-sensitive shoppers) than risk damage to the brand by delivering late.

Considering that at least 5 Amazon employees have died, I would have a hard time crying about a late package right now.

Amazon has over 800,000 employees. 1/100,000 is not a high rate compared to general population.

(Not trivializing deaths.)
