I'm curious about "Apple Anonymous Attestation". Is Apple taking on any liability by providing this service or is this all done on hardware through private APIs?

Compound that 30 years out, you would loose hundreds of thousands of dollars for a pretty UI. Forget that, take a day and go setup a Bogleheads [1] portfolio.
There's a reason that regulations for pharmaceutical companies exist, to prevent harm to consumers that don't have the aptitude to adequately evaluate the products that they're using themselves.
2. The Twitter user in question is pushing propaganda about Hydroxychloroquine, along with clearly false information that is not backed by the scientific community.
3. Take a look at the Food and Drug Administration official communications on its stance regarding Hydroxychloroquine: https://www.fda.gov/media/138946/download
4. Direct quote from FDA official statement linked above: "However, based on emerging and other scientific data, FDA does not recommend using HCQ or CQ to treat hospitalized patients with COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial."
He registered his domain through Cloudflare Registrar, a paid service. I'd be concerned if my domain registrar told me to head to the forums for support for tld level issues that only the registrar can solve.
Knowing how Seller Performance works, they aren't about to close off a listing that is doing $nn-K revenue per month because of a couple of copyright reports. The economics simply don't make sense for Amazon to poison the inventory of a seller because of a couple of reports, to fix this problem Amazon truly needs to figure out a way to verify the validity of inventory sent in to their warehouses.
That's a question that I don't have an answer to, but I do hope that someone from Amazon is really working on it. Inventory commingling and a myriad of other issues present in the processes of selling on Amazon are the reason that I decided to not pursue FBA further.
If people didn't sell counterfeit products, we would enjoy the amazing logistics network that Amazon has built.
My recommendation is that you become Brand Registered on Amazon, you get a hell of a lot more weight to throw around on your listing, ie. kicking off sellers who are not authorized to sell your products. Go look at any Anker product, you will see that "AnkerDirect" is the only seller on any of their listings because they are Brand Registered.
You could also go the Seller Fulfilled Prime route for full quality control, which allows you to keep access to the Amazon marketplace but you are responsible for logistics end of the bill which is a tall order but there are 3PLs that can help with that sort of ask.
Now in theory this seems like a reasonable approach to deliver products to customers faster, the catch 22 is that third party vendors have clearly taken advantage of Amazon's complete lack of quality control. Third party sellers can sign up for a Seller Central account, and send in counterfeit products with fake bar codes because Amazon doesn't check at all.
I could sit here and talk for hours about mess that is Seller Central. I've dabbled with Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA), and I would never recommend any company use AMZN for third party logistics.
