You're letting the perfect become the enemy of the good here

  Not really: I'm letting the practical dictate the process. Catching this kind of inflitration requires experts to scrutinise the work of people who know nothing about what they're making, to catch experts with a much more vested interest in success, and you aren't going to find enough experts to take that job, at a good pay, to check the output of even a single plant. Let alone an entire industry. If the question is "why don't we move chip production to the US, so this doesn't happen" the answer is "because you might be able to do that for one or two plants. And it'll probably drive up the price by an order of magnitutde, so they'll go out of business soon after. And you sure as hell can't move the entire industry because of prohibitive cost and shortage of manpower to do the bit that you want tacked on that can't be trusted to be done abroad".
