It's easy for you, but not for others.
And if you make a product getting it off Amazon is basically impossible, so it's in your interest to use it and maintain your own listings. If you don't, someone else will.

Surely it is easy enough to be able to expect people to become literate enough in using computers and the internet to search and visit different websites.
We expect people to learn how to read, how to drive, how to do basic math, I do not see why the line would be drawn before learning how to go to different URLs or using a search website.

This is a not so easy issue, but if the problem is counterfeits, then the government should pursue that.
It is very easy for me to not type Amazon.com and type any other website address. In fact, I am easily able to avoid Amazon for any non garbage goods I’m looking for. I can even go to eBay.com or aliexpress.com if I want equivalent garbage sold on Amazon.com
I struggle to see how it is a monopoly in any sense. On the seller side, they can choose to use USPS/FedEx/UPS to ship.
