Yeah, I guess for devices that can't receive OTA updates that makes sense. Though I fear that segment of the market is rapidly shrinking - televisions have ubiquitous software update capabilities now, and even washing machines are increasingly internet connected.
We didn't apply anywhere near that kind of quality control to smartphones or VR headsets. Once users are trained to install OTA updates to fix issues, most of the impetus for extreme quality control outside of the bootloader->OTA update path is gone
