Clearly I included one too many words:

How does it victimize?

The business takes a risk in developing and acquiring a product and Amazon uses the sales data and its platform to pick out winning products and undercut the price. The business is the victim.

The business should protect their product with a patent or other trademark then. Nobody is forcing people to provide Amazon data by selling products on Amazon.

There is no victimhood if the business voluntarily transacts.
