It's just a feelings graph. It doesn't reflect actual quantifiable product quality, longevity, or value.

In the notes it just says consumers were surveyed.

In other words if you say your product is made in Germany there's a better chance people will assume your product is better.

It's like seeing the Norwegian or Canadian flag on winter clothing, you just assume it's going to keep you warm.
