Are motherboard boxes typically sealed?

I received this from Amazon today with no seal.  Is that how it should be?

The box won't be sealed but the anti-static bag that contains the board would be tapped "shut". So I guess you can call that a seal (but it really isn't).

Here in Brazil, I got a Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2 (rev 1.0) recently. 
The box was not sealed but the mobo's anti-sttc bag was sealed. 

In the box: 2 sata cables, the mobo, the shield/mirror, a disc and some papers, nothing else. 

My Asus TUF x570 (for comparison) came very welll sealed, filled with all the stuff that usually comes with the mobos. 

I know that this B450 was a low-end mobo and all, but it feels disrespectful to the consumer, like, they don't even put 1 little damn tape on the box? Wtf...
