> Where is that information going to come from, exactly? Manufacturers, with quality ranging from excellent to trash. Consider trying to buy a 1K resistor at Digikey using their parametric search. Possible, but tedious and time consuming because you need a lot of domain knowledge to know what you want, and the technological range of "things with 1K of resistance" is extremely vast. At least its possible because the mfgrs are honest when Digikey imports their data. Consider the opposite, consumer goods. 500 watt PC power supplies with random marketing number stickers on the same chassis ranging from 500 to 1200 watts. Consumer level air compressors and consumer level vacuum cleaners than plug into household wall outlets claiming "8 horsepower" or whatever insane marketing nonsense. Clothes with vanity sizing so a "medium" tag fits like a real world XXL. Every processed food in a store with a "keto" label is high carb sugar added garbage, much like happened with "organic" label in the old days (the employees at the farm, distributor, warehouse, and/or retail store level take the same produce out of one bin and put it in two places with different prices) I think it will help when purchasing technical engineering type products but be an epic fail at inherently misleading consumer goods.
