They are creating a trusted environment where you can buy things that don’t suck. That has value. If it was the mafia they would require you to shop there.

When you have a known liberal return policy that is a feature of the membership, you have an incentive is to make sure that customers don't want to return those products. So, I see it less as a trusted environment and more as a seller motivated to make sure returns don't hit their margins. A consumer-positive/trusted environment is still be a good thing for consumers, regardless of if the creation of that environment was motivated by the bottom line.
