Nearly everything business you listed is about selling a high volume of products and services with relatively low marginal cost of production or distribution. That's true for food, books, movies, and compute. The robots are clearly related to warehouse automation.

Amazon sells very few things that cost as much as a car, and when they do, they don't manufacture them, because each transaction carries a lot of risk and overhead.

That's not to say they'd never acquire them, but the lack of business alignment makes it seem less likely.
