As a YIMBY, I think it's unfair to label the backlash against Amazon HQ2 as a NIMBY backlash. Not wanting to dole out arbitrary tax breaks doesn't make you a NIMBY. Same for being concerned about the extent to which it will create well-paying stable jobs.
The concerns about rent and displacement are really the only NIMBY complaint (particularly the idea that building luxury condos for new workers would shuffle out existing residents from existing apts / condos).
