Honestly you have to take ANY "reviews" on Amazon with a LARGE PORTION of SALT - %99 of them have no idea what they actually have or how to test/review it!
However, let us talk about Batteries specifically shall we?
How many consumers have AH meters? Programmable power supply? Load testers? Current meters? Even a DVM? (are any of the above even calibrated?)
Lets face it, the average Joe/Jane consumer has nether the expertise or the equipment to properly test/review a battery.
While it MAY be different for LFP batteries, the seemingly endless flood of useless/overrated consumer Lithium replacement batteries from China is what I'm basing my opinion on.
Well then again there is the popular CATL 280AH LFP battery cells which I see listed having anywhere from 240-340AH on Amazon (for the SAME cells).
(keep in mind much like FLA's, (while the number is growing) there are a limited number of Lithium and LFP OEM's in the world.

Well I can see from both of your posts you're the eternal optimist--lol!
If you reread my post, you'll notice I merely expressed an opinion, based on some of my experience building/using/testing several lifepo4s using most of the test equipment you mentioned. I also included the opinions/reviews of Will Prowse and a thousand or more consumers who purchased lifepo4's on Amazon.
I just read your post and it contains *only* your opinion . . . and nothing more.
I might add, it's the general consumer that directly or indirectly determines whether the vast majority of us keep our jobs or not. They ultimately decide what works and what doesn't work, by purchasing, or not purchasing, any given product or service.
Not even the most skilled marketing department and/or talented electrical/mechanical engineer has the power to make the general public purchase something they don't want . . . at least in the good ole USA, where we have the freedom to choose.
