I've been an early adopter around here, because before Amazon English language books were really hard to get and expensive here. Like you had to go to specialist stores, and they cost a lot more. So I started to use Amazon way back when it was just books. But I never expanded my use, except into ebooks, and just got more and more annoyed how the website keeps trying to prod me into prime and all sorts of crap.
I still buy German books from local bookstores of which there are three within walking distance that are more convenient than tracking diverted Amazon deliveries all over my neighborhood, as inevitably delivery people pretend that I'm not home to avoid five flights of steep stairs with no elevator and instead deliver to random stores or neighbors. Now you can get English books locally too, but they are still more expensive and slower with those so I tend to still use Amazon, but I don't really buy anything else on Amazon unless I can't find it in stores, because I prefer to buy things in person, if I absolutely have to get stuff. (I only really enjoy shopping for comics and books.) But I seem to be an outlier with everyone moving towards online shopping and delivery.
