This is to protect their data on you. E-mailing you specifics is handing your purchase history directly to Google and Microsoft (at least for the 90% of the population that use Gmail/Outlook). They would rather sell that than give it away for free.
That shouldn't be Amazon's unilateral decision to make, though. They could have made that behavior optional, and if they were truly as Customer-Obsessed as they used to be, they would have (and they would also have observed that customers did not like the new behavior and reacted to that accordingly).
I think you are getting downvoted for speaking truth because of first sentence which should be changed to "This is to MOAT their data on you". "protection" is invalid word.
Protection is the correct word. I said to "protect their data", not "protect your data", which conveys the same thing as your proposed correction without being grammatically incorrect. Moat is not a verb.

Oh I know why they did it. I am still furious that I am yet again getting a worse experience.

Actually moat can most certainly be used as a verb. Ex They planned to moat the fortress for extra security.
