Not to be harsh at all, but I think that you may have misread his point. Its not that Amazon is unwilling to use a patent for evil, its that the "evil" purpose in this case is the opposite of the usual case.
It is very much in Amazon's best interest for competitors never to deploy a technology like this. I'm sure that lots of people have placed Amazon orders from inside of Target stores after seeing cheaper prices at Amazon.com, for example.
This could be a offensive patent in the since that they could aggressively pursue anyone who implements it, while never implementing it themselves.
