Agree. I don't understand why Amazon thinks this will help, like "hello people, Union is a thing that we're really afraid of, haven't you heard?"

People are so used to getting gaslit by megacorps, they just eat that shit up unquestioned

Because they want to plant that seed of doubt and fear.

I do feel like this is smart. The first two points are whatever but the third one "typically you must go through union instead of your supervisor or manager" makes it sound like there is a lot of bureaucratic overhead to it. People who are undecided could feel that it's too much effort.
