Could some of that simply be because Amazon has always had non-tech competencies?

Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc. Those have always been pure tech plays. Amazon started out competing with Barnes and Noble.

But yes, I get what you mean. Companies are very reluctant to change the secret sauce.

This is a great point - the non-tech scaling aspect and intense customer focus contributes to the different culture.
