I'm very thrown by the "hidden Buy box" argument. I thought Amazon did that on purpose to hide overpriced items from the wild west that is Amazon's marketplace/sellers. So a t-shirt for $100 gets no Buy box because it's overpriced.

The video argues that this creates a monopoly.

Unfortunately the logic behind the buy box isn't quite that clear.

They could also prefer a listing for a higher price from an established seller over a listing from a new seller, even if they're the brand owner.

They "could" do anything you can posit. This doesn't seem unfortunate - their incentives are well aligned with customer preference.
