This is particularly bad if you search for a type of thing, e.g. "mechanical keyboard". Many of its top suggestions will be for nonmechanical keyboards and that won't be obvious without reading their descriptions carefully.

“Mechanical keyboard like”

What’s infuriating is how this lying has become normalized in “good” brands. For instance, try to buy a 60” TV. I do not think you can find one. They are all 59.5” and sold as ‘60” class’.

That usually means that discriminatory taxes or regulations are being dodged, for better or worse.

Perhaps that's one reason but it's also a >1% reduction in display area which is not nothing.

Aliexpress is the worst for this...

"keyboard non mechanical like cherry switch membrane touch rgb light clicky gaming blogging ergonomic xiaomi redmi arduino android ios windows laptop desktop computer tablet phone", and if you sort by price, the first one is $0.99.

Then you have 5 different colors of plasticky $15 keyboards and a usb card reader for $0.99 to choose.
