Jeff Bezos can afford a private space program because - in part - his Amazon retail model is based on working people until they are mentally and physically broken, while paying them a pittance, discarding them, and moving onto the next group of people. He would rather spend money on crying booths and astroturf campaigns and buying newspapers than change that.

Why would he think about the expendable meat-units in AWS any differently?
