Is it poor build quality or are they not designed to explode on impact?

Volume. Even if failure rates are low, the number of submunitions/bomblets is large. A artillery DPICM round contains 88 bomblets. If the failure is around 2.5 percent, that’s about 2 bomblet duds per bomb dropped. Now drop a few thousand of these bombs, and you will litter an area like Bakhmut with thousands of very dangerous duds.
