Why is Domain Name Important in Ranking or Indexing?

If I understand anything about SEO, all the pages of all the domains are indexed on Google. I keep reading about how you need your domain name to include your keywords to be effective. My confusion starts when I see domains like "amazon". This site sells everything from soup to nuts. How is amazon a keyword for the products that they sell. Amazon may not be the best example because of who they are, but my point is most websites that I visit do not have keywords in their domain names. When you have a variety of products to market, I don't see how you can possibly have a domain name for each one of them. Keywords on pages I understand, I just don't get the emphasis on keywords in the domain name. It does not seem to be a common practice in the internet world. Where am I not understanding this domain keyword thing?
