 That will not fix anything, the real fix is somehow these
companies need to stop chasing short-term profits that Wall
Street demands.  This issue happens when testing is cut
short and if an issue is found, the hardware gets released
anyway because "Wall Street" and profits and bonuses.

I went through 3 imported Durgod keyboards in a short time (a few years) for an approximate total cost of about $400cad (last prices around 150). Just ordered a US made IBM clacker 'rebirth' for $200cad. Do the math (my last clacker lasted so long that it's the only keyboard I remember from the 90's).
