They've been saying this for decades.
Perhaps we really are just slowly getting worse materials as the years go by.

Wood is definitely worse. They have to use younger wood now than 100 years ago (when my previous house was built).

The house I grew up in was built in 1962. If you went into the attic and looked up at the bottom of the roof, it was 1x6 tongue and groove planks.

As opposed to 5/32" OSB in 4'x8' sheets.

I know for a fact building materials have gone to shite, and so has craftsmanship as a whole.
