How many affiliates do you think claim their full income and pay it to the state? I would be surprised if that amount of revenue, at amazon’s standard 4% was even a drop in the bucket compared to what the states residents were spending at Amazon and not paying taxes on.
E commerce is not very good for state income taxes.

Well, if you make more than $ 600 from Amazon.com, you will receive a 1099 from them, so you must pay taxes on that. But yes, you are right, the state govt stands to make a whole lot more from taxing them through Amazon.com. This decision by Amazon.com, whether it is a bluff or not, does not bode well for the affiliate industry at large (non-gambling).
