Why does everyone and their mother want to emulate Amazon?
Because money
Who doesnt want to be a strong powerful woman warrior ? Sure, Lucy Lawless is responsible somehow.

The problem is they are all poor emulations. Amazon already has problems and these new "marketplace" don't address any of them. I haven't seen one be better than Amazon in any way. At least Wish, Temu, and AliExpress have a wide variety of stuff at cheaper prices. Even if everything else about them is crap.
