They're banning FOREIGN plant sales. There are import and customs controls in place that Amazon does not follow or require sellers to adhere to.
These mystery seeds are bringing increased scrutiny to imports, and Amazon is taking this move to reduce it's liability.
I'm sure they weighted the alternatives (e.g. wait for legal action, implement change) and determined the least expensive route was to just stop the business.

I decided not to plant them. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3eNO55-KL0ynsmXLT8svKUvWLEvH3lcgk1zA_IoTAiDa5H00KUms7zild1_kFknqTOz_gY19HD91R37nPzFyWNSmbARUFBlfFMCLhf0gnTR-b9LEOVhz3D_Oz2OPFNWVj-fgF652WL_mQsxfur8RUijSQ=w704-h939-no https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3eNO55-KL0ynsmXLT8...
