This is fraud. It's not made in that country. The few people complaining are because a) the barrier to complaint is high b) not many people read it c) they don't know that it's false.

If your a digital nomad, have it follow you round the world, or list all the countries you've done substantial work on it in.

Not mentioning taxes, counterfeiting laws, and immigration issues if you claim you made something in the US when you are not.

Same goes for claiming to be made in most countries when it is not. I'm pretty sure the author/company founder is in France and EU law has quite a few things to say on the matter of misrepresenting goods and services provided. His post is pretty much a confession of such misrepresentation.

Well, it only takes one report to the relevant authority.
