It is completely different.

You seem to have selectively ignored everything about this discussion except "unhelpful subject line". All of Amazon's emails have a complete body with all the important text instead of just a "click link to read". Spamfiltering against this works very well.

Compare apples to apples: what do Amazon's account suspension emails look like?

The point in the original message on Github was that you see an email in your inbox and ignore it because it looks like the other 100 emails you get every day.

Maybe their account suspension emails are different, maybe not. I wouldn’t bet on it anyway.

This would be an even further step. Reminds me of how Cable /Xfinity won't let you cancel sports package over chat....they send you a link to your phone that you must click, log in (password verification, captcha etc...) and than change the terms of your account.

Even on phone they make you respond to a text to confirm. Of anything happens (internet is not working, whatever, your bill will not be reduced).

Every extra link you must click to a third party source will remove half of your people.

It's an egregious step, imo
