An inventor invents, Then the engineer maximizes the difference between
the cost of production and the profit at sale. (not talking audio engineer
here) Over simplified for sure but the manufactures are there to make
profits and many are owned by holding companies who do not even care about
the reputation of the companies they own... Or understand the product or
that product's marketplace. Not a blanket statement for sure, but pretty
common for entry level equipment.
