I'd say a combination of cack handedness and incorrect selection of materials. Boardman are a great example (I like boardmans btw). Take an ally frame, steel bearings and 'varied levels of experience' halfords 'technicians' and you have a recipe for disaster. Plus I don't think enough thought was put into the design around the BB area when people swap from threaded to press fit.
