It's more of a tragedy-of-the-commons problem. Consumers don't know what they don't know and manufacturers need to be competitive with respect to each other. Without some kind of oversight (industry standards bodies or goverment regulation), or a level of shaming that breaks through to consumers (or e.g. class action lawsuits that impact manufacturers), no individual has any incentive to change.
