Well, the previous poster said the Philips ones work much better, so clearly it's not "the whole industry".

I’ll concede the point on a technicality, but will still stand by my motivation behind that comment - increasing the maintenance requirements for normal life sounds like a terrible way to spend money, environmental impact, and time...

"It works well" doesn't sound like "a technicality", but okay.

Humans remember negative experiences much stronger than positive ones, and "it just works" isn't really something you tend to notice in the first place. There's a lot of bias here.
