Having some experience manufacturing electronics domestically I don't think it's a conscious thing. Domestic companies don't fundamentally understand cost optimization and "good enough".
As an example making a PCB with a nominal impedance spec. A domestic company will take that to mean you want full testing and careful analysis. A foreign company will quickly rough out a stack up and send you the boards.
Because my impedance spec was nominal and not critical the foreign company is the correct approach.
