Don’t worry. If Amazon decided to undercut by selling at a loss, they would absolutely put it in their ToS that retailers cannot exploit this loophole and they would sue to enforce their ToS.

Retailers could put into their TOS that they are exempt from those clauses when buying things bought from them.
I like this. “By purchasing from us you agree that you cannot enforce your ridiculous terms of service and if you try, you also owe us a pony.”
These manufacturers never signed any ToS, and the most Amazon could do to retaliate would be to de-list the product that they never asked to be listed in the first place.
When the manufacturer buys their own product via Amazon’s service they would become subject to their TOS as a buyer.
I guess they'll just have to use some service to buy for them instead. ;)
