ELI5: Why isn't Amazon being looked at for anti-trust issues?

Thanks everyone for your insightful replies.  One question, a few of you have said as long as they don't stifle competition...but they are destroying segments of industry...fully taking down large swaths of retail.  How is this good for a healthy economy?  Why are we now as a society just ok with "disturbing" segments of industry right off the face of the planet?  How is this good for us?

There's nothing illegal about a company having their fingers in many different things, so to speak. Companies are allowed to do business in whatever marketplace they see fit, and as long as there is no monopolization it's not something the government would generally have a problem with. Anti-trust laws are in place primarily to stop different companies in the same marketplace from colluding to prevent proper competition through price fixing or some other type of conspiracy to work together at the detriment of consumers. Amazon is not doing any of those things.
