Amazon is probably the worst of all of these. The only reason prime exists is to lock you into their store for all your purchases, when shipping orders should be a discrete charge for each shipment. At least the rest of these (except for Adobe and Nintendo, who suck about as hard) give you access to their infrastructure that lets you access the entirety of the product they offer instantly, whenever you have an internet connection.

No. You get to buy a shovel with faster delivery. You get the shovel, forever. Nintendo let's you "buy" a game they could sunset at any moment. You possess nothing.
