That seems to obviate the distinction of 'marketplace facilitator' vs. 'retailer' for them. That makes them much more like Costco with a special relationship with vendors to set up vendor-specific sections in their store.
Personally, I've always detested the 3rd-party market in Amazon and wouldn't mind seeing it go away.
