IIRC, the heuristics and algorithms change over time, in
response to changing spam threats, overall ecosystem reports
of spam across the whole of gmail, and your specific
settings.
Seems likely that people have been blocking / reporting spam
which has similar characteristics to your Amazon email.
Seems unlikely that this would be being blocked
intentionally for sinister motives, especially considering
the anti-trust rumblings.
Behaviour like that (ie. filtering out content from personal
email directed to you for competitive reasons) would make
any of the current accusations look insignificant.
That would be a case of directly monitoring and censoring
your communication, which would seem much more serious than
accusations that they position their own services higher in
Google indexes (or just know how to optimise their content
so they appear higher.)
Incidentally, I think it is worth investigating them for
potential anti-competitive behaviour, though I don't think
their behaviour has necessarily been bad (as far as I know.)
I do have a problem with the politically and competitor
driven approach to forcing an investigation, and the
assumption that investigation == guilt.
Generally it pays to keep an eye on any company that gains
significant power, especially over large amounts of personal
data.

Parent complains about Amazon notices sometimes being
stuff into their Gmail spam folder.
Just wondering if you have added Amazon to your 'contacts'
list. If not, try doing so.
From Googles Gmail help ....
-------------------------------------------------
If you find that some senders' messages are consistently being mislabeled as
spam, you can prevent this by:
Adding their email addresses to your Contacts list. Gmail will deliver
messages from members of your Contacts list to your inbox, unless we know with
high confidence that they are spam.
Some messages sent from contacts which are very clearly spam can be sent
directly to your Spam label. More importantly, in some cases messages from
contacts will not be sent to Spam but will be marked with a red warning banner
if the content is suspicious - for example, your friend's or contact's account
has been compromised and used to send phishing messages.
Creating a filter so the messages are never sent to Spam.
