It's likely different problems in the same field (eg complaining about reliability vs arbitrary caps). The quality isn't as much the problem in the US specifically as the red tape around these companies creating local fiefdoms of

Subjectively, when was the changeover? When subs became a thing? When Ron Paul got popular? When the whole Ellen Pao debacle went down? The 2016 election?
