I don't see any sign here that anything is improving for smaller brands like No Starch Press (https://twitter.com/billpollock/status/1091840257073471488). They're only policing Nintendo products, and only because Nintendo has the clout to force them. Amazon doesn't want to lose their supply of Switch Lites.

Amazon has a voluntary program called Brand Registry that grants brands a lot of control. You don't have to be as big as Nintendo to get it.

What Nintendo is getting here may be different, but it's not like there's nothing brands can do to protect themselves.
