I suppose that its expensive to use the correct grade of spring steel. It just goes to show that parts are produced to a cost rather than the correct quality.

The expense puts some people off, so suppliers can’t sell enough, which lets in cheaper less quality stuff. This situation is why it so difficult to get parts that actually fit and/or last.
