@amiloradovsky@functional.cafe how is quality difficult to assess? If you are actually using the thing is should be evident, if you just check for presence and nothing more, I wouldn't call that a feature, sounds more like a fad: "this terminal emulator uses a custom build vulkan renderer... why, I dunno, cause it's rad!"

Reliability is hard to assess because it requires time, therefore to do it in advance you need an expert's help, who had already likely spend that time in numerous similar occasions. In presence of independent experts, who serve general public and set quality standards (even unwritten), you can't rely on fads alone to "sell" your stuff. In some markets your stuff wouldn't sell at all unless it comes with a warranty or goes for a fraction of the usual price (and even then stays in a niche).
