I definitely agree, this is an industry-wide issue. As much as it explains Walmart's actions, I don't think it absolves any of the actors.
So many of our regulations and laws are designed under the assumption that time and attention are unlimited. Under such an assumption, misrepresenting the seller for 95% of the page is fine, because you'll notice the 5% that gives accurate information. Advertising designed to give false impressions are fine, because of course you'll notice that nothing was specifically claimed about a product. Terms of service and privacy policies are binding no matter how unnecessarily long they are, because you have unlimited time to sift through them.
But those assumptions are all clearly and blatantly untrue.
