Do people not realize that you get better results with a switch and not one of these?

It can work simultaneously, by limiting the link speed to 100 mbps each (2 pairs each port). It literally “splits” the RJ45 input into 2 pairs to power both ports. So if you are good with 100 mbps link speeds for 2 devices (i.e., a smart TV that usually has a 100 mbps NIC and an old Apple TV HD which also has a 100 mbps NIC), then you can buy/use this product.
Nah look closer - its a switch. USB power supply and normal switch LED indicators on the ports.
Idk why they are marketing it as a “splitter” making it sound inferior…that should make for more painful searches next time I need an actual splitter. Which can be handy for like 2x PoE cameras over 1 existing drop…and even 4K cameras will never saturate 100Mbps so its fine.
There are 3 types of ethernet splitter - passive, active (requires power to amplify signals) and PoE splitters. This one seems to be an active ethernet splitter, thus it is powered. The LED indicators can exist in either a splitter or an ethernet switch. They can’t call a switch a splitter and vice-versa, because each device works differently than the other. Just because it is powered and has LED lights doesn’t mean it’s a switch. The old ethernet hub has LED lights and is powered, but it is not a switch.
On amazon even normal switches have that term “splitter” in the description.
Even the TP-link switch that /u/1sh0t1b33r posted.

They include it because its a term many naive users search for.
