You're buying counterfeits.

This is a much larger problem than people realize and it’s getting harder and harder to avoid them.

I may end up buying SD cards at the local farm and game store for the trail cameras because hopefully nobody is counterfeiting those.

Uh, no, unless the SanDisk cards that were packaged with official Pi 400 kits were counterfeit.

Why not? Company needed SD cards, they bought them and packaged with their kits. It could be from literally any source. Even with official SandIsk partnership.
