I mean this in the most kind way possible but you might be reading within your echo chamber too much. You might be correct but your view are completely different than the normal person.

The average person would not have any issue with have a couple more buttons to press to cancel prime. Thinking this is the view of only “rich, amoral technologists” is just wrong. Extending that dismiss anything else they speak about policy is the point of view of an extreme zealot.

Most people like Amazon overall. The process to cancel prime is orders of magnitude easier and more clear than countless business that force phone calls, letters or in person to cancel. Most people would shrug if you told them about this case.

I think most people would be opposed to that stuff in principle, but don't have a crystallized model of it that allows them to be opposed in practice; it's mostly by working in tech and/or spending a lot of time online that you become able to discern those designs as an intentionally manipulative strategy instead of simply bad design.

Like, my relatives will complain about e.g. things being hard to quit and literally not realize it was designed for that. It's really weird.
