[The US] is seeking a court order to force Amazon to change its practices, as well as financial penalties in an unspecified amount.

If the penalties are not the slap on the wrist they usually are then this could be interesting. It probably will end in a settlement of for an ammount equivalent to cost of doing bussiness for Amazon.

Can anyone with an amazon account/subscription confirm the proccess is really that tedious? I'm kind of curious now.

Yes it is incredibly tedious and confusing. Now that my prime membership is canceled, Amazon keeps trying to trick me into rejoining multiple times throughout the checkout process.
