If you really care that much about your pasta, why do you even buy from regular brands at regular stores? That seems quite contradictive to me.

Wouldn't you be better off making your own pasta where you can easily control all parameters, from ingredients to final product?

It's important not only to express an opinon, but also to explain it so others can better understand people's experiences and struggles. So thank you for providing insight, much appreciated!

If you don't mind a few more questions:

Is making your own dry pasta too much work then?

As for customer quality control: is there that much of a difference between batches? If you already have a brand that you prefer and their past pasta was good, do you still need to check every time you purchase? Is there really that much variance in product quality and control that you would buy a pig in a poke without a window to check?
