That's not even remotely true. The merchant absolutely has the ability to dispute chargebacks.

Yes, but the bank takes the money immediately after accepting the chargeback. The merchant can provide evidence and dispute it to get their money back, but it is immediately withdrawn. And, if I’m remembering correctly, along with a fee.
