My guess is that amazons algo internal flags users who accept faulty products, and reroutes returned products from opinionated users to the "garbage cans" who will swallow the returns generating profits from what should be trash.

They've made 100% of their customer base the garbage cans then. They commingle their inventory with fly by night resellers' inventory so counterfeits are plentiful. They combine products together. That indicates it's just a way to make customers feel comfortable clicking buy not actually allowing customers to share useful opinions.
