Sure there is: Review all products and their updates, just like e.g. an app on the app store.
But that will cost Amazon more money than what they currently lose on returns or scams. I presume anyway.
Amazon does not care about the quality of the products on their website, they only care about volume and selling / maintaining subscriptions. As long as numbers go up they're golden.
And there's not enough competition. There's probably plenty of webshops with quality products (anyone can run a webshop from their home), but discoverability is low, I don't know what the consumer protection laws in the US are like, and Amazon is easy to use. Amazon can afford to handle returns and the like as well.
