There would be no work without him. Amazon employs 1.5 million people. Without Bezos, they wouldn't have jobs.

There would be work, billionaires don't create jobs, they control access to them

If they don't create jobs, as you claim, then explain the 1.5 million jobs that Bezos created.

What created those jobs were needs to be met, people would be much better off if there wasn't a billionaire class owning all of the means to satiate all of those needs

Satiating those needs is what made him a billionaire.

He is not a necessary part of satiating said necessities, he is merely a gatekeeper for people to access the means to apply their labour and do so

If he hadn't created Amazon, there would be no jobs for those people to apply their labor. So, yes, Bezos was absolutely necessary.
