    It was reported before that it’s not about what is being sold. It’s a way to avoid certain limits on donations. A person or company might not be able to donate as much as they want. But they can buy loads of products. And it doesn’t matter how terrible they are. Ideally they’re so terrible that nobody buys except as a donation. To save on costs of distribution, customer service, etc.
