I fear a negative decision against Amazon so much more than other big tech. Amazon's offering is so far and beyond all their competition, I'd hate for the government to kill any future innovation they have.

Their 'offering' is totally artificial. Prices are low because suppiers aren't permitted to offer lower prices elsewhere. They have a history of blatantly abusing their monopoly position. The law even includes personal criminal liabilities for CEOs in these cases.
