Producing quality LEDs is a hella process. Producing shit LEDs is cheap.

There are several layers (7?) and a crack of a micron or three will suck the life out of it. Add to that shitty controllers and we get shitty LEDs. But they're cheap!

I've got a couple of red LEDs that were made for the original IBM PC. They still work flawlessly.
