The things Amazon wants and needs -- particularly, desirability by young, affluent techies -- don't really exist in "middle America".
For example, public transit. Only a handful of US cities have decent public transit at all, probably the only cheap city in that group is Philly. You're not gonna find good transit in Cleveland or Phoenix or Nashville, because they've chosen not to seriously invest in it. Is that Amazon's fault somehow?
