There is no fundamental difference between the workflow of a catalog based operation and a website based operation. In 1995 there were no "modern eCommerce operations" so any difference wouldn't have mattered anyone. Sears had as much experience doing direct to consumer sales as anyone could have possibly had at that time.

Then, LL Bean should have become Amazon. Sears was much more of a retail operation than a catalog operation at that point.
