Sure, but let's not pretend the writers at the paper are deciding this is better for their future. And let's not even give Bezos the grace that this is about if the Post succeeds. It's clear this is about if Amazon or Blue Origin gets contracts in the future under Trump and he's willing to burn down the Post to avoid that downside.
You can argue it's game-theory sensible, but it certainly tells you that Bezos doesn't care to put any of his vast money at risk for any cause at all.
