It's more like languages evolved to incorporate the most common idioms and patterns of their ancestors. ASM abstracted common binary sequences. C abstracted common ASM control structures and call stacks. Java leaned hard on object orientation to enable compositional and inheritence-based patterns widely used in C and early OO languages. Python baselines a lot of those patterns, and makes things like the Null Object pattern unnecessary.

By that logic, I should take it up with the delivery guy; both he and the reseller simply passed-through a sealed product.

Ah yes, I must've used ChatGPT to generate the photos of it being sold in a sealed box. And the ebay account listing. And the receipt.

I could just make up a receipt from an authorized reseller. What kinda proof is good enough? Do these items degrade in a sealed box? If so, why track the warranty from resale date instead of manufacturing date? If not, photo evidence of a sealed box on sale should be sufficient imo.

The reality is, this sort of resale is common, is hardly more risky than with authorized resellers, and deserves greater consumer protections.
