How is that possible? Seems dodgy to me.

I work in travel, and would never book a flight unless direct with the airline.
I do regularly book tours through 3rd parties, and have actually found having a 3rd party has helped me get restitution with some covid cancellations.
I think it comes down to size/scale of the company that provides the service and the commissions made.
Airlines are massive and pay tiny commissions. Nobody at trip.com will be able to get stuff done for you and they can't pull their relationship with a big airline.
