I mean, yeah. What percentage of searches for "Amazon" in today's world do you think is going to not be about acquiring cheap shit very quickly? I would expect the tech company to be a better answer than most when someone searches for Amazon. Searching for "the amazon" gives the expected results as that's how it is more commonly referred. So it does seems like your search query as performed was just a bad search
I bet it would be a few percent less and the world would be a fraction of a percent better if the first result was the rainforest.
I wonder how much they pay Google for the top spot.
Amazon does not need to pay Google for this. There is no world where Google puts an organic result about the rainforest in the top spot, because it's not what most users are looking for.
At most there might be a world where Google puts someone else's ad above the organic results.
Well, we also know Google isn't trying to help the user leave Google's site as quickly as possible, because they get more ad money when the user clicks on a few pages or does a few searches before finding what they want.
you'll probably find a Google expense for the same value of Amazon services so that no money ever trades hands, but both companies' valuations are inflated
