Amazon is a trusted brand, and while their commissions aren't high, they do sell well to online buyers. There is little risk involved in promoting Amazon, and providing you have a good traffic flow and promote a product that isn't time sensitive, you will have consistent sales well into the future. If you only make one sale a month, ya you're going to be stuck at 4%, but if you make 7 sales a month and you're up to 6%, scaling up to 8.5% for people pushing large volume. That's really not bad for a mainstream commission on tangible goods.
I've had successes and failures with Amazon, and I know of at least a couple people who work strictly with Amazon and do pretty well. There are plenty of opportunities to make money with Amazon, but it is only a single revenue stream, if you rely on Amazon commissions alone, you're doin' it wrong...
