It's interesting, I've noted that bad products tend to drive out good products. This happens with all sorts of products: food, software, etc. A lot of the time, the products are even from the same company: they come out with a good product, the market laps it up; and then begins a process of degradation as they make the product worse for no discernible reason.
Case in point, I can't count how many times I've been to a grocery shop looking for a packaged food product I've come to really like, only to find that it is no longer stocked, or that it has been replaced by an objectively inferior product. This seems to rarely happen with mediocre items

Well, they don't make the product worst on purpose, they make it cheaper to produce, in the hope that people keep buying it at the same price. The metric to optimize is not "quality of product" but "profit". Basic capitalism.
