So you'd just search "impact wrench for Dewalt battery" on Amazon and you'll get a lot of unbranded or Chinese-branded items that fit the 20v Dewalt battery packs you already own. They have them for Makita and all the other battery ecosystems too.
If it's something I use regularly, I'd rather invest in the Dewalt branded product, but for something I use infrequently I'll cheap out and so far it has worked out just fine

I'm a Vine customer so I've tried out lots of them. Most of them grossly exaggerate the torque claims too. This Boen probably goes closer to 130 ft/lbs than 260.
It's $50 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...NX03I

Plus, these $37 amazon rip off tools should not be the bar at which we measure these things. They're riddled with unsubstantiated claims, questionable warranties, even more questionable safety standards and so on.

Not at all. Some offer similar products of course. Maybe even similar or same specs, But quality can vary widely. The quality in a brand's system is why you should be willing to pay more for its equivalent compared to a lesser quality brand.
I think your point is that if two tools from different brands make equally specced tools, you only have the brand name as being different. I don't see that as anywhere near an "always" or even a "normally". They don't all get pumped out of the same factory so there will always be some differences.
If I had Ryobi batteries and chargers already from some deal, I would love to pick up a Dewalt tool-only deal that for no extra charge I could use my batts with. Instead, they force you to invest in an entire ecosystem or many if you like certain tools for whatever reason over the ones in your ecosystem. I still say greedy.
We could buy tools based only on their quality, instead of settling for some good ones we wanted for a good deal, and some we could get a better deal on a better tool from another maker. But being restricted to their ecosystem makes that too pricey to switch over to for one or two tools you'd prefer from another maker
People like to think once you choose a platform you're stuck, you're not.
I own a complete set of Ridgid tools.
But I don't ever remember the 1/2" Ridgid Brushless impact Wrench with battery and charger selling for $100. Can you link that deal? They're usually almost double that price:
