With the rest (the pertinent part) of the sentence not snipped, you can see
that you are not talking about the same thing:

"... without succumbing to the temptation to cheapen them so management can
afford more swimming pool chemicals"

I'm talking about _deliberately_ cutting back on quality, a la Delta and PC,
with "price point" engineering on already established products that were
once some the best in the world, but are now crap.

That's going backwards, not forward.
