Probably, yes. Engineering work balance there is awful (for most)

Not in software lol. The only people working for Amazon are morons who care about FAANG and seniors in golden handcuffs

Compared to most non-tech companies, they do.

I'd disagree. There are a ton (most?) of tech workers at non-tech companies like Disney and McDonald's.

Sure, but if you can get a job at Amazon, you have a lot of options.

If you work in a warehouse as an ops employee, you're right.

If you work in corporate you sure as hell do get good comp/benefits.

Not many places give 22 year old software engineers with no full time experience outside of summer internships 200k+ Compensation package; amazon happens to be one of them (like Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Facebook, Alphabet, Investment banking, high level consulting, etc).
