valid point, even if the gift card approach was taken US amazon gift cards are almost unavailable in brick and mortar stores in asia or gift cards are not even sold in brick and mortar stores like in the west. Doing so online ties the payment identity to the gift card. It still probably would not cause much issue if the seller uses the gift card on their account and you get BTC, but its traceable if authorities tried hard enough
also, some asian countries heavily restrict outward remittances and allow it only for some purposes.
