Why is anyone shocked AliExpress products are fake? I only go there if I want a knock off version of something (shirts, AirPod cases, etc.). Ebay and Amazon are also not surprising either, but both retailers often have the "official merchants" of products that are being sold. As long as you buy through the official storefronts, then you're good to go.

We shouldn't have to be investigative reporters in order to buy products that won't harm us.

Even the merchant name is bullshit on Amazon.

Try finding Apple headphones and see how many are sold by merchants named "Apple".

Amazon has to know that product is not actually being sold by Apple, yet they allow the counterfeiting to continue.

There are other marketplaces that offer a much higher quality guarantee than Amazon. Shop there instead.

You're thinking of the old Amazon interface. New Amazon displays the brand but combines the fulfillment behind the scenes (mixed sku's). Let's say you are making and selling your own "gsuppys hair cream", 5 boxes a day. I can send 1000 boxes to Amazon and take over your sales without being shown as the seller. Complaints and bad reviews go under your product name too.
