Sometimes I need a roll of tape or something same day. And that’s it.
I’m in London in UK so we have same day, sometimes under 4h delivery.

But it's a whopping $140 a year these days, how often do you really need just a roll of tape? You can get that same rapid shipping as needed by paying for it when you order. Personally I toss tape in my cart when I notice I'm down to the last couple of rolls, that avoids that whole situation of needing something NOW. I also have the option of just stopping at a store when I go out to buy groceries, at least for now Amazon hasn't completely put all the local shops out of business but they certainly are trying.
Prime is one of those things that is a good deal for a handful of people, you may be one of those, but most people that have it do not get their moneys worth, otherwise it would not be so profitable for Amazon and they wouldn't push it so hard. It is a psychological trick.

I’ve got three kids, work from home, run my own company so plenty of last minute purchases. I do buy in bulk where possible. $113 equivalent a year here is the pricing and it isn’t a big deal for me. Also Prime video is ok. I got The Expanse and The Boys :-//

You’re clearly just the hapless victim of psychological sorcery. :P

No I'm just very lazy and have better things to do than chase the lowest price :-DD
Edit: actually that's not true. I'm moving house so I have a big spreadsheet going. Amazon got a lot of business because they were the cheapest and most convenient supplier:
You can see some of the other suppliers in there...
