One-off anecdotes are not evidence of systemic problems. What evidence do you have that any of what you described is common? Multiple commenters describe taking the OBB night train and speak highly of it. Edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37810476 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37810476 Apparently it's location specific. > However, the different forms of downgrades and downgrades affect the destinations differently. Most of the downgrades from sleeping to couchette carriages were available to La Spezia. Double downgrades – i.e. from sleeping to seat carts – are hard to find in the data. Downgrades or night-chair downgrades or night-chair hooks meet the Zurich destination. A downgrade from compartment cars to large-capacity cars was again almost standard in the last two months at the Bregenz destination

Problems with the Zürich <-> Amsterdam line are constantly in the news[1]. I was not the only person on this train that had issues. I voiced mine at a later time directly with ÖBB unlike others that complained to the staff which were not at fault here. It is a systematic problem and the nigthjet in this state should not be offered if they can't keep it up to a minimum standard. I don't have a problem with a 1970's train but then don't sell me a trip in a modern rail car with a 360 walkthough on the website when it isn't what I am getting. Working toilets (With toilet paper) is the only thing I would expect on a 9 hours trip, everything else I don't care about.
