The house my family bought, built roughly 1960 in what was at the time one of the richest counties in the U.S., had most of these problems, and a few besides. The "in my day" arguments really don't hold up... people were lazy a decade, a century, and a millennia ago. Moreso now? Judging from my experiences, I wouldn't say so.
Anyway, accusations of laziness aren't dealing with the problem, that is, assigning responsibility to the proper organizations to do their due diligence. The best way to do that is to make it clear you will not buy from them unless they do their jobs properly. That means boycotting publishers, not Sony or Amazon.
