That's a pretty good excuse Brave could use, but they don't, apparently because they lack brain cells. Amazon at large, however, does hurt people, and being an amazon affiliate associates you with them, making you the indirect cause of suffering.
Unlike a real affiliate, Brave isn't encouraging people to buy from Amazon, they're just passively shaving off a commission from purchases people were already making. So even if I agreed with your view of Amazon, being "associated" with Amazon is not helping Amazon when the relationship is purely parasitic.
