People clearly differ.

Steam and Etsy are actually two companies that, if I were unable to use them starting tomorrow, that would basically have zero impact on my life.

Whereas, although I do order from a variety of online retailers, going cold turkey on Amazon would be a fairly significant inconvenience for me--although some seem not to use them much.

Right but you wouldn't be able to make the claim that the market is centralized based on these factors.

Centralization is a float not a Boolean. I use Amazon a lot, am generally happy, but am slightly concerned with the amount of centralization that Amazon retail represents.

Centralized in what way?

You'd just create a new account for Amazon.

But what about your gmail? You'll lose all access to your email
