Most Americans will buy the cheapest knockoff they can find. That is why Wal-Mart is the evil giant it is. Good products like Weber grills do cost more but there is a limit to how much more most consumers are willing to spend. So they have to make concessions to keep the price point in the affordable range.
I guarantee that many of the workers who have built Weber grills for years (including the supervisors) hate the shortcuts and cheapening, but they also know it is that or unemployment.
They are just giving the consumer will pay for while maintaining a profit margin.
