Cars and game consoles kinda disagree with you. For example, Mazda (now exclusively built in Japan) is a fair compromise between quality and cost. About software, I don't know. They seem to be very decent as far as research and embedded goes, even a bit of open source (I can cite https://github.com/guicho271828 https://github.com/guicho271828, https://github.com/fukamachi https://github.com/fukamachi and https://github.com/cxxxr https://github.com/cxxxr on the top of my head), but consumer software appears to be another story. I don't think it's for this reason, though. I can even remember them having a strong affinity with Prolog... ah, there's the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Generation_Computer_Systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Generation_Computer_Syst...
