>but we all know these issues can be easily fixed by spending a little more money on higher quality sensors and parts
Dunno about that. Valve doesn't manufacture sticks themselves, they source them out. ALPS for example doesn't have a product in that formfactor that is rated for anything reasonable. Everything they have is basically rated for the equivalent of 4 months of everyday use, people did research during the dualsense-gate. 
I honestly wonder what the actual issue is. There should be demand, the stick issues are the reputation ruining thing for companies.
