Intentionally bloating category pages with tons of written content, unfortunately, is the result of Panda. Sure it's not good for users, but that's what happened, simply because those ecommerce sites had to adapt if they were going to compete or have a leg up over their competition.

And I'm not sure if Google took that into consideration when they launched Panda. If they had, we wouldn't be seeing the intentional bloat.

The same exact thing happened when Google launched Penguin. I bet Google didn't realize that they would start a whole new industry, the shady industry of making site owners pay money to get low quality links removed. But I digress...
