Exactly - what most people are really complaining about when they say everything is crap these days is that other people make different decisions about purchasing, or that they wish they were forced to buy the higher quality item.
It is a bit annoying to have to search and find high-quality items, but it's still doable.
It’s amusing that you presume to know what people are really complaining about.
Even better is pointing out a perfectly valid concern regarding higher search costs, and then brushing that aside altogether simply because it doesn’t completely prevent search.
You only need to worry about perhaps the average of the things you buy.
