Ok, I understand a lot is owner maintenance, but, like, they are making the same basic thing and molding parts, unless the molds are wildly off or drills to put in screws don’t work (less of the occasional bad unit that will just happen), how does reliability vary so much between brands when they should all be building the same thing. Did the Americans just not care if stuff was tightened down or out of spec?

I’d counter that has changed over the last 5-10 years.
Toyota just recalled over 100k Tundras and are doing a complete engine replacement on them. There’s also issues with the new Tacoma.
Honda also has had a number of recalls recently – heck, my father in law’s Pilot had it’s engine seize at 100k last year due to a bearing failure that was recalled later in the year after he dumped it.
