Just look at appliances. What sells in volume? Cheap refrigerators from Korea or Mexico. Do they last? No. Can they be easily repaired? No. Do they sell millions of them? Yes. Do people complain every day about them failing prematurely? Just look online for reviews.
How many people pony up for a Sub-Zero that will last 25 years? A very small minority.
Why is Toyota cutting costs (and quality)? Because cheap Chinese and Korean cars are taking their business.
We do this to ourselves.
