>> It is really a head scratcher that it is so hard to find quality food storage in 2025.

We're living in a disposable society. As companies have found out. its better to sell something that lasts for a few years and then (as you have pointed out) force your customers to buy a replacement or a "new and improved" version.

I remember growing up durability and longevity was always a part of the marketing of specific products. I vividly remember in the 70's watching commercials for cookware and the tagline that was used was, "The last mixer you'll ever buy!" or "Commercial grade blender! The blender that your children will use!" that sort of stuff. Nobody really touts the durability or longevity of their products any more.
