wow, that is exactly what I was looking for. I guess

The ecommerce templates do look at Content information

the Product entity itself is empty, for cases where
there is a field
on the Product entity that corresponds to the given
ProductContentType of course.
This pattern allows more efficient information
retrieval by looking
directly at the Product entity fields, and if they are
entity then it
looks for the applicable Content information (which
obviously
requires additional queries and so runs slower, though
these are
typically cached so it isn't too much slower).
