Remember, you, or whoever you have listened to, are listening only to 
those who have had a problem. And since Canon sells far more lenses than 
Sigma (or, I suppose, anybody else), a much lower rate of problems in 
Canons would still result in a higher number of actual complaints than 
for Sigma.  QC is a % thing. Even the occasional Leica doesn't work the 
way it is intended to. Perfection, even if possible, would be 
considerably less affordable than a Leica.

(I am also of the opinion that a significant proportion of QC complaints 
about lenses, of all brands, are due to operator error. But that's 
another rant.)

And what, exactly, does that have to do with the price of eggplant?

If I am a potential buyer of lenses for my own label, I have choices as 
to what I buy, including QC. So I pay an extra 7% for only ones that 
work, have them put my look and name on them, mark up the price a little 
more to pay for my care and support and I'm off to the races.

And if they can't do QC properly, I do it, perhaps paying a bit more 
apiece for the right to send back any that don't meet my own QC standards.
