I can’t seem to find evidence of that. All I see is they’re Amazon affiliates, which pretty much anybody can be.

Fair enough. Honestly it was probably a safe bet too considering how much they have their hands in.
Not owned by Amazon, but there’s a big but.
Their source of income is from Amazon affiliates link. Whenever you follow the price of a product, if you click on the links on their websites or in their emails, they will earn a commission from Amazon.
Amazon recently started vetting their affiliates more. I’m 100% sure that camelcamelcamel now shows data in a way that doesn’t hurt Amazon (e.g. they won’t show sudden drops in prices, i.e. pricing mistakes) or even themselves (commissions are a percentage of the price paid by the user).
Oh no way
It’s not.
I didn’t look into it yet but that would seem a bit… Against its own interests.
