Wasn't this always the case, but is it now more apparent because we can find the same product on AliExpress?

Nah, I'd say in the 2010s, Amazon was just a competitor for regular brands you could find in any store here in the US but since around 2015-2016, you seem more DINGPOW equivalents.

At one point most of their items were from brands that cared about their reputation - the manufacturer and the third-party seller. It took a few years for the third-party seller program to become a laundering program for no-name low-quality goods.
