Yes. They commingle all the inventory.

Not true. Sellers can prevent comingling inventory by creating their listing with a unique FNSKU. This doesn't prevent the product from being sold on the same ASIN. If sellers can do that then Amazon can absolutely do that.

They could, but they don't. Why is a bit of a mystery because in the long run this is destructive and it can't be that profitable.
