Bezos pointed out something rather salient in the interview:
Currently Amazon is a disruptor. They are doing things that no other online retailer is doing, and they're doing it better, because they chose to shoulder that risk. But merely because Amazon is doing better now doesn't mean that someone else won't come along and disrupt Amazon and kill them.
In fact, Bezos fully expects that to happen someday, and almost seems to welcome it. I think because it means progress.
