It seems like it would be trivial for them to reduce quality control and have customers just “deal with” chips that aren’t as stable. How come they aren’t doing this?

    With that in mind I think most of the time if a manufacturer cheaped out on making a less reliable component then the engineer designing whatever circuit it was going to be in would probably rather find a more reliable chip, create a different, more reliable alternative to the problem, and/or try to omit that feature entirely.

    This is pretty much binning in a nutshell.
