On the rest? You're fighting a losing battle against the incompetence of the normal. Oh, I agree, on all of the above. But gave up fighting as bad for my blood pressure. But the countertop installer? Oh, yeah. Go after them. Oh, and DO write a letter to the quartz countertop manufacturer. They have a good deal of leverage if they choose to exert it.
Waaaaalllll...

As someone who has a lot of stone (floors and countertops) and has had coffee tables, etc., over the years, the reality is--stone breaks. Granite breaks, limestone crumbles, Trav cracks and sadly, so too does Quartz.

Now, with Quartz, depending on the product, if it's glued together (sound weird but many Quartz countertops or tabletops are created this way) you may be able to argue a manufacturing defect.

But I think you'll find, if you read the fine print about the stone, that breakage due to natural causes (flaws in the stone, imperfections) isn't covered. At least, typically, it isn't. I found this out the hard way, nearly 30 years ago when a granite coffee table just split in two one day.

Not trying to discourage the protesting and all that, but...just thought I'd mention it.
