Well, they do get a lot of practice.

Not that I don't like Ruger, I own many of their rifles and handguns. But I've had way more issues that they had to address than from all other manufacturers combined. Way more.

I had to return one pistol to S&W over 20 years ago. It took a couple of tries, but they replaced the gun with a new one. I've lost count of how many times I've had to contact Ruger CS. But to their credit, they do make it right.

It seems like their approach is build them and get them out the door ASAP and let the customer do the final inspection and product testing. Who knows, it may well be cheaper in the long run for them to do it this way.
