You're not "punishing" them by passing off the higher costs of that channel to the consumer. You're creating an incentive to buy your product via lower-cost channels, so everyone wins (except Amazon).

No only the business wins here, I'm on Amazon's site because I want to order from Amazon. I don't want to deal with ur shitty shipping and re-entering all of my information constantly.

If those are benefits you value, you should be happy to (indirectly) pay Amazon the premium that they charge for it.

So then pay the Amazon premium. Why should I pay more off-Amazon because you want to shop on Amazon?

Because you choose to put ur product on that platform. Because I'm more likely to purchase the item if it's on Amazon. The fair pricing rule is literally pro consumer.
