Been dealing with this on and off for a while now. Used to be isolated to just Chrome, but now its happening in Firefox, Edge and on my smartphone in desktop mode.
We’ll use ASIN B019JMC8EU as the testing grounds.
On the page, you can see a section that says “See all 36 formats and editions”. normally, you click that or the little arrow to the immediate left of it, and it brings up a drop-down menu of other listings in the same formats.

If a corporate infrastructure is so Byzantinely-convoluted that it takes three damn months to even find a “correct” POC (“Point of Contact”), it’s hard to think that a reorganization is in order…
Mea culpa - I left out “not” in that concludingsentence, which should have read like this:

On a related note, just ran across another post from Cooper, which illustrates the problem faced by Amazonians:
Today, 112525, I find that the dropdown for your ‘check’ ASIN’s PDP is now operative; the same is true of the E.L.O. PDP that the NSFE OP, @olinad1, used to make the same check:
