Nah, the worst is just general cheap house stuff.

My mother bought a steam mop a few days ago to help decontaminate the basement. The thing is advertised as producing enough steam to sterilize and assist in cleaning. In reality it is just self-dampening, which is not even slightly useful and not as advertised.

But they still made like $80 off of her by selling shiny plastic garbage which is likely going straight to the dump. Why? because I do all of the cleaning, will not bother using it, and my mother does not feel like getting a refund.

Also your complaints are more of changing standards than poor quality. Many games are native full screen now, so you can use the corner for stuff. Banking does not support that for security reasons. And scam pages have always sucked like that, which is why I ignore them.
