>It used to be possible to pay somewhat more to buy good quality products that would last for years or decades (obviously not for electronics)

My computer's from 2000s still work as does various 20+ year old CRTs. What products are you talking about? The nylon clothes that last forever, the food that doesn't go bad and has higher nutrition, the cheap micro USB that came with the thing that broke but the cable still works 9 years later?

What are these same price low quality goods you are plagued with?
