I don't see why. Fake reviews don't benefit Amazon. The review information is a value-add for them, and fake reviews detract from that.
Hell, if it actually is able to reliably detect fake reviews on Amazon -- which I doubt, but let's roll with it -- Amazon might buy the company that does the fake review detection to get it so that they can filter it.
Amazon doesn't have a vested interest in making sure reviews are legitimate. They have a vested interest in you buying a product from them. And fake reviews can certainly lead to you buying a product that you otherwise wouldn't have.
