This sentence does not say any more than commenting on burglary to say “everyone tries to get resources for themselves”.

A small bakery cannot engage in price manipulation for a meaningful time or volume to oust competition, that activity is completely different category.

No, there is a difference. Burglary involves coercion. The choice to shop at small/big bakeries is yours alone; no one is forcing you to pick one.

But the problem with burglary isn't the resource acquisition, it's the burglary. Amazon is fundamentally performing the same act as the independent bookstore, they're just doing a better job.

Anyways the fundamental problem with most bookstores that aren't Barnes and Noble is that they all do a terrible job of having the things I want to read. When the local artisan bookstore won't bother to stock RA Salvatore or even fucking Tolkien because it's too "low brow" I don't have a whole lot of empathy for them. I actually do enjoy bookstores when they aren't merely a far more inconvenient way to order books from a large corporate distribution center.
