"Rosey halo of memory", does not explain why some sub amps when blowing, insist on converting the voice-coils of your attached expensive subwoofers into "crispy duck".

Whereas most others don't... Embarrassed

True.
Could be inadequate testing/faulty design/lack of QC...

There must be 100s of combinations of why things go wrong in Amps many have been mentioned I suppose the Techs are in the best position to answer this if they have the stats to collate.I do find I have to cut through all the crap distributors/retailers don't always provide you with an unbiased opinion,that's why I like these topics/forum they aim to reason around this.I don't like the idea about going on about China because its the west/commercial world wanting things for cheap to do this there is a push to make amps lighter,cheaper components etc thus driving down shipping costs.Before it was cheaper components and application So there is definitely a commercial element to this

Maybe a little bit of modern amp design particularly from the cheaper end of the market is the designer simply milking established designs without fully understanding them. An analogy would be when the russians tried to copy the american B29 bomber during the war and used metric rather than imperial gauge aluminium. The result was a near identical aircraft that was way too heavy to perform properly.
