Seems like they could greatly reduce fraud by using RFID stickers to authenticate manufacturer-authorized products.

RFID is the same as a barcode, just that you don't need an optical reader (or line of sight, even). Did you mean NFC with some signature scheme, or did you mean a unique code like a barcode or RFID to track an item individually?

Why do you assume that counterfeiters won’t also have RFID stickers? This is like RFC 3514 all over again.

They have an opt-in program that does this (maybe without RFID) called Project Zero.
