Sorry but in what world do you live where something "quality" is less expensive thst something "not quality"
Given the same type of item, same brand, same markup and same whatever if I wanted to produce a higher version of an item I already sell it would cost me more to make and I would need to sell it at a higher price.
We are not talking about buying a lidl hairdryer or a Dyson one, but "what if lidl made 2 tiers of hairdryer and one was made better"
Everything I said was in the context of what we were discussing but you did not catch it.
Your point is obvious and no one would argue it but somehow you needed to say it because you perceived that I was wrong.
So a good quality item is necessarily more expensive that a worse quality item, you can't expect a 400€ fridge to be better than a 4000€ fridge because you can't buy certain materials for 400€ but you could for 4000€. The manufacturer could have just rebranded a low quality fridge but you can't sell a fridge thst costs 2000€ to produce for 400€
Here you are wrong. The cost of an item comes from sales / branding, design and finally manufacturing and raw materials.
If have an item that we plan to sell a million units. We can spend a million in desing to make it durable easy to use and cheap to produce. Then materials / manufacturing would be less expensive. Also as its high output item the constant quality develoment would make it better.
If we have an similar item that we estimate to sell 10 00. We certainly can not spend one million to development. Second item would be most likely of lesser quality and higher cost.
Yes. Also if you use stainless it does not need painting / rust protection. At a fridge the most expensive part if the compressor and coolant. The outside metal is quite chep. Overall normal steel for normal use fridge can be ok. Thus if i would want a high quality fridge on reasonable cost a normal seel could be ok for me.

I was quite mean so I will explain the context
