Marketing... These not-so-famous-yet Chinese firms have picked up what the West has been doing and are trying to cut out the middle-man.

Essentially acting as a middle-man that doesn't actually produce the product, barely does any QA and just adds a thin veneer of this being an actual "company" that manufactures and sells this product. Sometimes they use a fancy term like "white labeling".
