There are competitors to both Uber Eats and Amazon Books. It doesn’t seem like this mechanism prevents people from trying.
On the other hand, if you force companies like Amazon that warehouse a lot of products and to commit to prices years in advance you destroy a lot of economic value. It’s vital that an online seller can clear unbrought product by giving rebates to his customers.

Mm I guess they fail as examples (I am generally bad at coming up with examples of things though)
I think in that case the price commitment would apply to Amazon’s (average?) markup, not individual product listing prices.
