The scam books are not just "bad writing" and usually don't rip off other works; many of them are filled with pure garbage: random letters that form non-words.

But maybe you're right, the size of the inventory is what matters to Amazon who may be stuck in a "growth at all costs" mentality. That would explain it in part.

That should make it even easier. If X number of words don’t appear in a dictionary, then it’s a scam. Amazon also has a natural language processing platform. If it can’t parse X percentage of sentences, it’s a scam.
