Wasn't that the entire premise of drop, though? Massive stock of quality, curated items. Not necessarily in a specific niche. The "what new drop is there today" is the appeal.
If it's now a glorified Amazon, who cares?
At first, the entire premise was facilitating group buying to meet manufacturer order minimums for unique or high-demand hardware, and discounts for meeting manufacturers' volume discount targets. Then it morphed into a general specialty/niche retailer for people with keyboard, headphone, "EDC" and began to also focus on "house brand" type merch.
