I think some people buy multiple copies or order over and over again, so the actual probability is high relative to other items (because as others have said, the total number of items is huge).

I think maybe the real mistake is that someone who is buying a bunch of copies doesn't really need the item to be recommended to them. The recommendations are more helpful for things that you can't find in the history.
