Can you think of any examples where they've done that? They certainly could, but I can't think of any times they have actually rug-pulled like that, and the motive to do so seems tenuous too. In order for Amazon to do something like this they would need established market dominance, as well as a belief that some new player will hurt their market share enough to justify alienating the FOSS community.

Given what Amazon routinely does, this doesn't seem crazy at all. Just look at one of their countless anti-competitive behaviours.
