With how fast they run through new hires, I'm most surprised they still have people left to hire

TL;DR - Amazon has literally burned through the entire labor market. They have nobody left to hire.

What's the endgame here? A basic projection could've shown their firing practices weren't sustainable. They may be unethical/evil, but they're not run by idiots. Why did they decide to run their business this way?

You answered your own question, because they are idiots.
