Had this happen with a $5 charging block, and stories are legion. Why does this happen?

Poor materials and QC.
Power bricks like that are usually being purchased on a cost basis, rather than a quality basis, so the manufacturers are cutting every corner they possibly can. If that leads to a dangerous failure, they’ve already moved on and re-formed the company three times since then so it doesn’t matter to them.
