The 5w-40 is 13 bucks but I struggle to trust this brand.

It comes around now and then, like a bad penny:
I will stick with Kirkland for my less expensive oil changes. Not saying JTP is bad but just never heard of it.
Apparently it has a fake api donut since it has it on the bottle but the manufacturer name is not in the registry.

They do not make it. Probably a warren or other bottler with their name on it.
Lawnmowers need oil too.. this would be OK for that I'd think.
Sold & shipped by Walmart proper and not 3rd-party vendors. Interesting.

Took the plunge...
May be worth an email to them. I do not see them listed on the API composite listing of certified vendors.
I'd've at least spent the extra 2 bucks on the 5w-40 as if it's underadditised at least you have extra viscosity to make up the difference.
Got 3 of those but have plenty of 40 weight in my stash.
I'm a mechanic so I go through a fair amount of oil. So variety helps. That and the 5w20 is very similar to the 0w20 from their specs.

They have some fairly prominent API symbols on their products; I'd expect they are licensed. Otherwise they'd be in gross violation of false advertising and would be shut down in seconds by the API and FTC.
However, it's often hard to find some products in the API search directory simply because we don't know what exact name to search. For example, the Fram and Carquest lubes are listed by "Advance Stores Company" ... (not Advanced Auto Parts, or AAP, etc). If you don't know what to search for, it's hard to find some things.
Further, this specific product the OP listed may not be made any longer; whatever license which was valid at the time may have expired now. But at the time of production the API symbols may have been "valid".
Maybe call/email JTP and ask their license number, or ask what parent company name is being used.
