You claimed the quality issues were due to the cost of Western animators, not because of American management.

South Korea has long been a place to outsource animation to to cut costs. Plenty of Japanese animated works with Korean names in the credits as well.

I mean that they can afford to pay the animators better because they're more productive with the production methods they use for the project. Or in other words, the management cuts costs more. I've seen animators talking about how they'll only use one line weight when drawing a character to save time or things like that as well.

That's not the entire reason of course, they also have larger budgets.
