It's sure easy to post questions like these, but what would you propose to correct your issues? What options would you like to see added? What innovative floor plan isn't available yet desirable? What type of construction is the industry ignoring? Remember, you have some basic rules that must be followed. The rig has to be street legal. It has to be powered or towed by something that already exists, you can't just wish for a nuclear propulsion system and have it. It has to be affordable, just because a diamond is the hardest substance on earth, doesn't make it a good choice for flooring.
As for quality, we all complain about this or that, but is there really a systemic problem? Maybe with all the systems, the options and the fact the thing bounces down the road makes some problems inevitable.
To say that the industry is not innovative is really not that accurate. Over the years we have seen things like multiple slide outs and toy haulers go from oddities to common. Top of the line motorhomes now have steerable tag axles. Push a button in most motorhomes and you are automatically leveled. There are multiple floorplans to meet the needs of both families and retirees. There are many choices out there if you go looking.
