Hot take:

$30M provides essentially zero disincentive for Amazon given their earnings. Why do they even bother to fine them?

This would be like being fined $15 for a speeding ticket - except instead of speeding, I compromised the safety of millions of people.

Ineffectual fining is worse than no intervention at all.
