3PLs and warehouse distribution channels have gotten better and are cheaper than using FBA shipping outside Amazon.
Did you know the biggest sellers on Amazon normally have their own website and in fact, orders from Amazon flow directly into their OMS (order management system). Amazon is simply a sales channel. Also Amazon has a stronghold in western countries but much less so in gulf states, South Asia, and Africa.
