So many large companys do this, Sony, Sanyo, Panasonic. For the cost difference of hardend head bolts over the grade normally used GM bean counters caused the entire engine line to be remembered as a disaster instead of the leap in technology it should have been, small block V8 Diesel while the imports had shaky, underpowered inline fours. When done correctly though the results can be good. How long did the GE Porta-Color line remain in production? Did they have the best picture quality, no. But for the most part they worked a long time and were cheap to manfacture and buy.
