I'm not sure that's true. In 2019 there were many articles in mainstream news outlets about Amazon's counterfeit problem, including a major (front page, I believe?) article from the Wall Street Journal [0].
They also received major negative publicity about the "Solar Eclipse Glasses" they sold that damages many people's eyes in 2017 [1]. I think it has cooled as a news topic, given the plethora of topics in 2020, but (again, anecdotally) I don't think the opinion has restored. At least it hasn't in my social and family groups.
