How would that even address the problem? Someone buying these things to commit suicide will still buy these things even if they need to do a few more clicks and searches because the items aren't conveniently bundled or recommended.

Yes, people who want to commit suicide might still succeed. That doesn't mean Amazon or you or I need to make it easier for them or facilitate them.

That also doesn’t mean Amazon or you or I need to make life harder for the 99%+ of the population that isn’t going to top themselves.
