Looking at what No Fraud does [0], it sounds like Meta has either spun off the first party hardware store from their usual infra, or straight asked a third party to deal with it, and to insulate their main business they split the email domains.
Most companies are already splitting domains for customer and corporate communication, that's a step in the same direction.
While you're right it sounds fishy as hell, it's also mildly common IMO and understadable, especially when e-commerce is not the main business, and could be a reflection of how anti-phishing provisions are pushing companies to be a lot more protective of the email that comes from their main domain.

- makeitdouble 2y agoFor better or worse, we've been in that world for a long time really. If I ask my bank for a debit/credit card, they'll pass my request to another partner which will do my background check and potentially contact me for additional info. If I order a delivery from IKEA it will be probably handled by some local company I'll have no idea how precisely they're bound to IKEA. Some complete stranger will be at my doorstep with a truck waiting behind. There might be some mention of involved third parties in the contracts, but we usually don't read them. So we used to get random phone calls from unknown numbers claiming to be associated with a reputable entity, and be actually legit even as it sounds completely fishy.
