Meta says it can steal any of your business ideas, business processes, and business technologies for its own use and not pay you.
Amazon does this by reserving the right to sublicense any/all products listed on their 3rd party marketplace. Even if it’s the manufacturer selling d2c on Amazon.
Depending on what kind of products you mean, licensing might be required for them to do their job. The same way as when you upload an image to a social network, you automatically give them a license to display said image.
(I don't use Amazon so idk if they sell digital goods.)
Not ever remotely surprising
