I’m curious to know how this hasn’t cratered product quality in Japan, since I’d think that preventing even deserved reputation damage would reward behavior normally only balanced by that reputation damage, like pulling a product quality bait and switch. Is there another uncensored system? Is there a quality difference between exports and own consumption?

I too am curious, since various products from Japan have good reps for quality.

Japanese commercial ice makers, are one example. Generally considered some of the best.

You don’t see the bad products because those don’t get exported. The ones that are considered some of the best are outside Japan where the companies cannot sue for negative reviews.
