Wrong line of thinking. His ego drives him to be the wealthiest person on the planet and continue to put separation between himself and #2 (which he is doing). Additionally, he wants to build THE Company to end all companies. He wants Amazon to run the world...be everywhere...control everything. Basically, overtime one turns their head, there is Amazon. And, he's well on his way to achieving that.
Additionally, why do you think the "winners" of Amazon's year-long "search" were those municipalities which threw the most incentive dollars at them? That was the #1 driver in the "search" - who was going to provide Amazon with the most incentives. #2 was obtaining as much intel on cities around North America for free. And they got that. Intel, data, and an understanding on over 230 locations in the U.S. and Canada - worth billions - without spending a dime. Genius.
Amazon (Bezos) is not interested in spending more money than they (he) has to. Thus, they are not going to build tall and over-the-top extravagant. It costs too much. The more money they spend, the less the company is worth and the less Bezos will have in his pocket.
