New LEGO lacking in clutch power? (Quality Control)

[LegendaryArticuno]

I never been so frustrated with a set, specifically the recent Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock Subway set. The problem (apart from the price) was that Spiderman kept popping off the train due to the slight tension from the webstrings and more importantly the lack of clutch power on this piece (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4304&idColor=86#T=S&C=86&O={"color":86,"cond":"N","rpp":"500","iconly":0}).

I got so frustrated I was thinking of doing a slight redesign, but thankfully i tried the simple solution first which was to use an older part. This solved all my problems, Spider-Man never pops off and I can even alter the webstrings into positions which creates even more tension!

So to me this is a massive QC problem, and over time older/used pieces that are identical will be more valuable than pieces from the newest sets due to better tolerances and QC. Another piece with really bad clutch power was this one as well and it's fairly new piece: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=65578&idColor=12#T=S&C=12&O={"color":12,"cond":"N","rpp":"500","iconly":0}
