Not only this but Amazon is a marketplace for buyers AND sellers whereas it appears McMaster-Carr is the seller. Sellers on Amazon are also Amazon customers who want their own pages, copy, etc.

I don't know if it is the same as amazon. but I suspect it is.

Newegg: the store, I love, newegg: the marketplace, I dislike. newegg at least had the grace to include the filter "sold by newegg" when they made the transition to marketplace.

So then "amazon: the store" would be what? books? does amazon still sell books? or is that all amazon: the marketplace" as well? it is impossible to tell with amazon.
