Local production/manufacturing can give a region a sense of pride and ownership of a product, there’s certainly something to be said there. I understand it’s not all sunshine and roses, but towns and cities all over used and to this day are called things like the “clock city” or the “yarn city” etc, etc.
Consumers very much care about quality but it’s in the context of the product. With extremely cheap, semi disposable goods, consumer’s criteria for quality is mainly that it actually works as intended and doesn’t break immediatley.
