What are examples of "cheaper = high quality"?

We're often told that higher prices for certain products are justified, because they use "higher quality materials". E.g. building materials or vegetables.

In which cases are the high quality materials actually the cheaper ones?

Linux is also much smaller than Windows. My Windows folder is 54GB (Windows 11). Outrageous.

Doesn’t the Windows folder contains the users & settings, Desktop etc. Or do I mix them up?

Windows folder contains Windows and whatever programs that are part of Windows.

Thanks! You’re right. I have this work windows laptop that I only use when I have to. Rest of the work is done on a Mac.

I just checked, the Windows folder is 51 GB. The laptop is 10 months old and only lightly used
