"ecause it can deliver quicker, cheaper and easier"
And why it could?
1) Because it doesn't pay the taxes other companies pays
2) Because it tries to avoid work regulations other companies have to follow
3) Because it exploits people as much as it can with its "contractor" model.
If you think, slavery in the British and Spanish colonies, then in the US, was a very efficient business model - and could put out of business many other far less efficient. Maybe not an acceptable one?
When you have only one big seller setting wages, you will just have poorer people, less employment, and in the end even higher prices. And if it doesn't pay taxes, say good bye to free education and healthcare, and a lot of other things....
"by international rules (and EU rules) "
Sure, that's why they are not in a prison for tax crimes. Just those rules were written for a different era, and now people want them changed - as it happens in any democratic country, following democratic rules. Or big companies now dictates the rule?
"Amazon for example are complained about because they do R&D investment"
LOL! They do make disappear a lot of profits they should be pay tax upon using sophisticated tax avoidances schemes.
