Default Quarter turb ball valves

Those of you who has gone to Home Depot recently to shop for plumbing
parts, specifically valves for the kitchen or bath, must have noticed
there are quarter turn ball valves not seen before. I did only because
during Christmas I did a bath remodeling project. Yes, HD has had QTBV
for years, but they are not much easier to turn than the traditional
globe valves. These QTBV's are so tiny and so easy to turn it is a
joy.

Why didn't someone think of this idea sooner?

In the good old USA if I remember correctly. Quite a contrast from the
****ty hard to turn globe valves made in you know where. The existing
line of ball valves were made in Italy as I remember, still not very
easy to turn.
