Has the quality of auto parts gone down since the pandemic?

Example #1:
I replaced a simple part, a fuel filter with a built in pressure regulator, with a Euro brand made in the EU. I started getting cold start issues, so I figured maybe the fuel pump was going too. Replaced the pump and still had cold start issues. I bit the bullet and bought a replacement fuel filter from another Euro brand and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Example #2:
I bought a new power steering reservoir and it leaked right out of the box.
