Right now it's fashionable to dislike Amazon. Rants about Amazon are a formula for karma success right now. That's my guess as to why it hasn't been flagged to death. I wouldn't attribute a lack of flagging to legitimacy. HN isn't immune to BS.
I'm more interested in the frankly absurd notion that there is this software giant who is supposedly super good at web services, yet is incapable of doing the simplest possible things to sustain its development community. It's an incredible dichotomy - the Mighty Amazon of Prime Now Shipping vs. the Meek Amazon of "How Do We Certify Like Apple?" - but it's one that needs to go away.
