This is absolutely not the case. If it's got a major-brand logo on it, the manufacturer is not going to risk their reputation, nor their warranty repair liability, by "cutting corners" on the product. There are some specialty cases where a company may sell a "house brand" product under their own logo, which would be built by a large name manufacturer, but done to the retailer's specifications, which could certainly include cost-cutting.
