Honest question: why would you buy flowers in MK? Like, look how beautiful these are, let me purchase them and then hold them on Big Thunder? Seems odd...Never forget what they took from us

Same reason they sold antiques in the park. They were trying to shape an entire experience, not maximize sales per square foot like a poorly designed mall. They also offered services so you didn’t have to carry everything around.

AFAIK, they were artificial flowers
The flower market was a popular photo op in the days the park sold film and cameras. Another example of Disney being "Instagramable" long before that app ever existed.
MK shops sold all sort of things that were not practical to carry around including antiques, silverware, swords, chess sets, crystal figures, jewelry and more. Package Pick Up next to City Hall is where you could pick things up later in the day.
Many WDW stores continue to sell large or delicate things that are awkward to carry or stick in your bags before flying, but they add to the variety and quality of merch and make the stores interesting places to visit and spend more time (and money) in.

In regards to the question "where is the merchandise" in the center room (and all my opinions about this refurb aside) I think there is still some flooring work left to complete. So likely holding back on adding shelving until that work is completed. Just my educated guess here based on the phased floor work in the other areas of the Emporium so far.
