...that if it looks like the quality tool it is competing against, that's good enough, it doesn't need to function. Quality alloys? Try melted-down coathangers.
This problem is seen at its worst after one foundry discovers that someone else is making money selling something, and copies it, but cheaper. Then ANOTHER copies them, cheaper still... till none of them is in business and the products aren't worth buying.
I first noticed this race to the bottom when it happened with the "40 piece socket sets" everyone was selling 20 years ago.
