Horrible indeed. But sadly this is a common practice. Once I called out [1] the folks from Read It Later (now Pocket) for silently changing Amazon links. In their defense, at least they acknowledged and promptly "fixed" the API/policy in a couple of hours [2].
Another one that does the same is TabCloud Chrome Extension [3]. It scans all the tabs you saved, and stuff Amazon's affiliate links there. I fixed mine locally, but it's not a public license, so can't just fork and re-publish it.
