Tastes are a very individual thing. But what about quality? There's a standard for books in a genre and just because I polish my manuscript, have it edited by a professional, give it a genre appropriate cover that costs a pretty penny, spend weeks to months on a sharp blurb, doesn't mean that my book will be "quality" with all the others in its genre niche. Why? Because even though I'm not an amateur writer, I'm an amateur publisher, and my shit is going to stink for a bit until I get the hang of publishing.
So I see this discussion in that light: quality and standards in genres definitely exist but it's the readers who choose depending on taste. The OPs tastes are not being satiated by the current products on the market. They are separate discussions entirely.
