Apple has filed suit against an Amazon supplier as well [1]. Even Apple can't police Amazon's cruft.

The issue here remains, if Amazon profits from fake items, why are they not responsible for the outcomes?

Do they live in some alternate reality where they don't have to play by the same rules?

Yes. They are a "tech" company. It's not breaking the law it's "disrupting". See Uber, Airbnb, etc.

They're not screwing investors, they're "failing fast".
