Maybe. I find that very useful when I'm trying to buy the same thing again. It acts as a trust marker.

I do wish they kept better historic purchase data. I assume it's deleted absurdly quickly for compliance?

Huh, Amazon keeps years of order history for me and you can't even remove it, just "hide" orders which will then still be available just with an extra step. And I'm in the EU so no idea where else they would have more compliance problems with that.
