Quality also varied over time, if I recall correctly. Machine made generally starts worse, but with refinement ends up better from superhuman specialization of machines to provide fine detail with tighter tolerances than even artisans can manage.
The only perk artisans enjoy then is uniqueness of the product as opposed to one-size fits all of mass manufacturing. But the end result is that while we still have tailors for when we want to get fancy, our clothes are nearly entirely machine made.
