the real reason is because Amazon wants to do business in China, so they absolutely cannot do something like that on their end without getting blacklisted by China's government.
They mostly can't in the US either. And Amazon has apparently rarely prevailed in enforcing it. But that doesn't prevent them using lawsuits as a kudgel to punish defectors.
Beyond this, if Amazon was willing to participate, I'm pretty sure Google would let them in. However, knowing the companies from prior actions, there's no way in hell Bezos would ever allow that to happen.
No concept that Amazon should be held responsible as the seller when they resell a counterfeit item.
No mention of antitrust or monopoly issues.
Amazon doesn't have much of a GPDR/CCPA privacy problem because most of the data they collect is from their own customers, who have agreed to Amazon's terms. Amazon doesn't want to sell customer info because that would help their competitors compete with them. They have their own internal closed ecosystem.
