For example, if you insist on buying Advil instead of store brand ibuprofen. I mean, you’d be wasting your money in that example, but you do you

I think it’s more likely that the consistent quality is a side bonus from most of 3M’s customers being other corporations, not individual consumers
If 3M only sold painter’s tape to the public, most of the public will buy it whether it’s crap or not because most of the public only needs to put up with painter’s tape occasionally
However if a large commercial real estate company who goes through palettes of painters tape suddenly has to start ordering 1.5x as many palettes because some of the tape is defective, they’ll threaten 3M with cancelling a multi-million-dollar contract that will hurt 3M’s quarterly spreadsheets.
That is until inevitably someone at 3M gets the idea to start producing a cheaper “consumer grade” painters tape and then everyone who doesn’t have a relative in building maintenance who can swipe a pro grade roll for you is SOL

Dude, 3M Extreme Mounting Tape is the stuff. I bought a portable CarPlay unit for my work vehicle, and I mounted it on the dash with the included mounting tape. It didn’t stay up there a day before it was falling off anytime I hit a bump. I went to Lowe’s and got some Extreme Mounting Tape and put it on, and it doesn’t move. AT ALL. The one time I had to take it off, I thought I was gonna pull parts of the dash off with the tape! I live in the south, and not even the summer heat affects it.
