His ownership would overshadow the other 31 owners, something their egos just could not handle.

Paul Allen bought the Seahawks for just $194 million at the time. He was a multi-billionaire that had revenues that dwarfed the NFL at the time he purchased, just like Jeff Bezos would now. I don't particularly like Bezos and agree with you that he wouldn't be good for the NFL, but they are not polar opposites.
