Recently Amazon, I suppose their app, added a search item to my context menu, which is quite a nuisance. Other apps have as well, such as DeepL and Wikipedia, but I believe those have a valid use case without too much of a commercial interest. Is there a way to remove items from the context menu without removing the related app?

Amazon Smile trades ad views for 1% of their proceeds to a non-profit of your choice (including the FSF, EFF, and more, though I think RMS would have a seizure accepting this money)

Whole Foods gives you significant discounts on hot foods if you scan a QR code from the app (still expensive though).

I don't use these personally but I can totally see someone using them.

Yes. my non-profit used to receive Smile donations. I can personally attest that we got emails about the program ending and that it did end.
