I.e. any page on amazon.com that requests strict mode they should instead get a console.log() that prints out a link to this bug.  That doesn't punish their users, but it will quickly get the attention of any developers who work on their site.

JavaScriptCore is independent of web pages, it's a large amount of work to add infrastructure to say "ignore the standard in this case", and it's counter productive.

Logging an error rather than entering strict mode essentially makes it impossible for amazon to actually check that their site is strict mode compliant when they do get round to trying fix it.  It's also a rather passive-aggressive response.
