Don't be so sure it is the company trying to save money.
At least not the brand name company you bought from. It is no secret that everyone from Apple to Sony is having their product manufactured in China by third party OEMs. Unfortunately what they spec for use in their product is not always what get's used. The Chinese have been very bad in the area of quality control as of late. Sawdust in baby food, lead in toys, pet food with toxins and cheap fasteners are just a few examples. Companies do their best to inspect the ODMs but things continue to slip by.
