Fair point. This just happened to me yesterday. I needed a 3.5mm to RCA cable to connect my TV to the receiver[1]. The one I had wasn't long enough, so I found one on Amazon and ordered it for the next day.
By the time it was delivered, I had already found my long-lost extension cable and didn't need it anymore.
Waste of money and—to your point—if I didn't have that option I probably would have searched a little more around the house before resorting to buying a new one.
Ultimately I still want to see these things advance, though. Whatever mechanism that would set lower bounds on delivery times would be worse than the problem it would be intended to prevent.
[1] Never mind why the TV only outputs audio on a 3.5mm jack, kinda cheap.
