Shipping/fulfillment costs are simply far more expensive than most people assume. If you buy a $15 item on Amazon, Amazon keeps about half of that. The seller still has to pay for the entire process of getting it to an Amazon warehouse

That's not their stated goal, you're misinterpreting it by changing the wording.

"The board" isn't exactly a single entity. Even if the current board made this decision unanimously, they were a minority at the beginning of the year.
