With negative EPS and stratospheric market share, doesn't it stand to reason that everyone involved in AMZN believes it to be in a growth phase?

Of course; the question is whether they have a secret plan to crank up prices and profits once they hit some particular level of market saturation.

I don't think so. I think Amazon expects to run at essentially break-even forever, or at least until Bezos leaves.
