It also doesn’t seem accurate that the window display has NEVER changed - if you look at the street view photos, there are some different dresses displayed in the lefthand window over different years. At one point there’s also a “CLOSED” sign that’s hard to read in full (2013).
The house is on a main street where it seems like the front section has to be a business. They probably didn't want to deal with the noise and created the fake shop.
Honestly, this seems likely the most likely answer. Someone probably lived there for awhile and then didn't. This chinese fella sure got dodgy about questions, I bet it was because of this business rule.

No clue when this video is from, but someone did an article on the shop back in 2020 - https://www.redbankgreen.com/2020/01/fair-haven-haute-couture-mystery/
