I'd say it has more to simply do with globalism and market forces. Yes, certainly people's choices have had a big impact, but the path of least resistance to profit will always be there...

On a seperate note , why do people incorrectly claim that toyota is a "top" vehicle? It has been the most recalled brand for several years. Can't be that "well built" if they have to keep recalling them.
Strong "brand identity".
