Amazon is being sued for abusing their market dominance.
Whether they are into the “smart toilet” business or not, let’s pretend they are and that they effectively control that market.
So then the “flaw” in the lawsuit is that all the toilets just stop working during the court proceedings and maybe beyond. That makes life more than a bit challenging for the prosecutors, regulators, judges, and society as a whole, giving Amazon undue influence, not just in the market, but in the courtroom itself.
This is relevant because Amazon is already meeting with some success in making their trial into a private trial. Some feel that this is undermining the concept of open courts and maybe the proceedings themselves. (As a Canadian, I don’t have a proper understanding of American courts, but it seems very strange that the OJ Simpson trial was televised, but Amazon and Google seem to be getting publication bans and camera removals.)
I’m not the OP, but I’ll take a stab at it.

Feel free to laugh now, I guess.
