Obviously it's not your preference, but that doesn't mean your preference is inherently better. Even if your argument were true, all you're doing is lamenting your own increasing irrelevance to the market at large. And to that one might say "the world's changing; sorry you can't keep up". I guess the world just can't keep measuring up to your superior discerning taste for "quality".
You make an interesting point, but how do you prevent the relativism trap? One can argue any discussion on quality is inherently useless as the perception of quality is subjective.
