Since the 1960s, American manufacturing turned from making things that were expensive but could last a lifetime or longer to prioritizing cheaper and mass production. The "Made in America" marketing was a way to slowly burn some of the good will from the earlier days that valued quality and craftsmanship, but there's fewer and fewer younger people that see American-made as the apex beacon of quality standards, because things really aren't made as well as they used to be.
