This basically happens with every retailer. Online or brick and mortar. Been happening since the 80’s.

Retailers use store location and proximity to other products to make money and woo manufacturers / CPGs.

Amazon is basically just doing exactly what Best Buy or your local grocery store has been doing for decades.
