Under federal law, it is often legal for companies, including Amazon, to deny pregnant workers lighter duty. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 says that an employer has to accommodate pregnant employees only if it is already doing so for other employees who are "similar in their ability or inability to work."

So yeah, they just deny them all accommodations to stay legal.

I'm sure Amazon has looked at this from every angle since they've already had multiple lawsuits. Doesn't matter how morally wrong it is if they can stay out of trouble and keep pumping out those packages.
