The capitalist west seems fully happy buying slop and crap as long as it is cheap... Nearly no one demands quality anymore.

Quality isn't really an option anymore, because expensive no longer means quality, it means expensive-looking crap.
If it's all crap anyway, why pay more?
Absolutely. In areas where there are known quality options, people are clearly willing to pay more. Toyota for instance is a solid example of this.
Automobiles are large, expensive purchases with a relatively small set of options though... For most purchases, it's impossible to determine quality ahead of time.
