Amazon is not the only company to sue over this, Microsoft successfully sued as well[0].

In fact, several large companies have pushed to keep these non-competes in place in Washington State[1].

I don't think it's fair to focus only on Amazon. The reality is that in Washington State, this benefits many large corporations ( while being harmful to employees ) so it is the company's incentive to try and keep the non-compete as broad and ambiguous as possible.
