It’s usually homeowners buying and installing crappy electrical products off Amazon, or ‘handyman’ types who don’t have a license. I sell and run commercial electrical work at a union shop and we buy electrical material from supply houses, not Amazon.

You certainly could buy material off Amazon but if you’re passing the cost onto the customer, why not just buy the real thing?
