The point you make is indeed an important one. The problem actually then boils down to people _collectively_ needing a good tap. Most do not care about quality ( priority of short term over long term), hence the market will be flooded with things that are bad. To make things worse generally speaking it is said=d that you get what you pay for. This is probably not true for a lot of goods and services out there.
