It is so typical of manufacturers of anything to make it cheaper. I worked for one of the largest corporations in the U.S. a few years back and in one particular year the company made more money from cost reductions (translation: making it cheaper) than they did from that year's sales. The problem is that at some point it gets so cheap that the consumer has become the guinea pig and we absorb the reduced quality.
