Studies have shown that consumers will gladly visit restaurants that don't include tips in their prices over restaurants that do, even when the prices are exactly the same.
In a country used to not seeing the total price on store goods, hiding the tariffs away as a "+145% tariff" label makes perfect sense. Just raising the total cost and hiding the tariff, what the American governments probably would prefer, would put Amazon at a disadvantage against other stores that do show the split.
On another note, Apple got very upset at Facebook when they tried to pull the same trick regarding the 30% Apple tax. In that case, Apple forbade Facebook from making it explicit how much of the transaction was a tariff raised by an external party. Same trick, but different outcome (because Apple can force Facebook's hand).
