It's the die hard OEM part buyers that these fake parts are trying to take advantage of. And there is no guarantee that a dealer will not have these fake parts. Sort of like banks having fake bills.
As you noted yourself, these counterfeit parts are getting better and better and I hardly doubt dealers are really scrutinizing the parts they source.
Good aftermarket parts, on the other hand, are much safer in that regards. It's much less lucrative to fake aftermarket, which is already at a much lower price than OEM.
