Amazon barely knows who is listing products on their site, whether the products are even legal, and sometimes they can’t even tell what a “product” is.

But that's because they deliberately chose not to know it. A responsible business would have processes in place to identify all of that information.

"responsible" doesn't earn them as much

The only pressure on them to do it would be money. And not in "someone decides to not use them to buy some stuff" but getting sued for hundreds of millions
