I don't doubt Amazon did this for retaliatory reasons but the wording of the email he received is no doubt a result of the employee tasked with shutting down his account only having a handful of "reason templates" to choose from.

I don’t think this really matters. It’s still the email they sent out and should be held accountable for.

I don't disagree. I just think Amazon's "reason" is essentially irrelevant.

The reason is they don't want to do business with someone that shittalks them. Amazon has its faults, but this is a reasonable business practice.
