What exactly is the consumer harm here supposed to be?

  Were I Samsung, I would be pissed that competitor’s (cheaper) products get shown on my page. As a consumer, it shows that Amazon is aware of counterfeits, and has the ability to limit them, but does nothing unless the seller can raise an appropriate fit. Have I previously purchased counterfeit Samsung X? Sounds like Amazon might have a good intuition, but does nothing to stop it.

    Were you Samsung, one would hope you would be more pissed about your crummy software and ecosystem where $900 smartphones are jammed full of ads and fourth-rate buggy plagiarisms of better Google/Apple services, and understand why better companies than you can negotiate better treatment than you.

  I think you could argue something like "Amazon is aware that it's ads broadly promote counterfeits but leave them up"
