I think you are right that newer products are - generally - more poorly built. I'm at the point now where almost everything in my room is from the 90s or earlier! This isn't coming from some place of nostalgia, more so the genuine quality and reliability of this stuff, not to mention how cheap used is compared to new.
I do think, however, that part of this may be that all the cheapo shit that they undoubtedly made back then is gone, to landfill or otherwise, and all that's left is the high quality or professional grade stuff.
