The only reason is not having to register to thousands of crappy webshops that don't know shit about itsec and get data leaks all the time. There are other platforms than Amazon but I don't think their business practices are significantly more ethical.

I miss those Sears outlets, mere kiosk windows on the sides of warehouses where you pick up your catalogue selections.

If Sears could have held on for just a bit and gotten on that Internet ordering wave, its presence in every town across 5 time zones would give it a massive head start.

Maybe they woulda had to up-armour the wickets like a NJ white castle drive-through but even a "go pick it up" workflow would have been great.
