That is a fair counterpoint. I think then the issue is potentially misleading marketing, where a good is being marketed as robust and high-quality when it is not in fact either of those things.
Overall I reject the negative attitude towards brands who have seemingly “gotten worse” over time in the same way I accept newcomers to the gym. Goods becoming more available (people using the gym) is a good thing, even if my personal experience gets marginally worse (access to equipment decreases).
