Because they're cheap. The majority of people don't care about quality as long as it's presented well and meets some fairly low benchmark level (whatever that is). Pretty much all industries have demonstrated this, and cars seem to be no exception. Country of origin/ethics/politics also doesn't really play a part in purchasing for the majority of people (again, simply shown through sales)
