Yes, there is a clear quality difference between the stuff they acquire/license (some of which is quite good) and the utter dreck they produce themselves.

I wasn’t aware that „dreck“ is being used in English. TIL

What other language(s) is that word used in?

It's a moderately rare word in everyday spoken English.

“Dreck” is a German word.

It's traveled fairly broadly on account of having been adopted into Yiddish - I picked it up as a very young child from an issue of MAD Magazine, and was somewhat surprised to find the New Englander side of my family very familiar with it and only bemused at the happenstance of hearing it from a five-year-old.
