Just a shower thought. Obviously depends on the industry, but in terms of electronics I fee enthusiast grade (think gaming motherboards, for example) are better built than professional grade. Thoughts?

Depends what you mean by better.
Motherboards, Enterprise grade, tend to have a longer guaranteed longevity, better components with a lower failure rate, and more feature complete for Enterprise requirements.
Enthusiast grade motherboards tend to try to get everything to go as fast as possible without worrying about stability, lots of RGB
Different requirements, so better is subjective
I think the holy Grail is cheap, last forever, good dor all use cases, and that’s where restaurant supply store is really win. A lot of the restaurant equipment is cheap, will never fail, great for everything.
And then there’s military grade, versus commercial grade, versus retail. A lot of military grades just barely good enough to work.
So I think the key here, is to join a community where people care about the thing, and see what the community uses for their day-to-day. And that’s the best.

True, but there’s something important to point out there. Unlike consumer or business grade stuff, the military will know that it breaks after 3 uses, label it as such, and mandate that you replace it after 3 uses, even if it’s still working. The stakes are often as high as they get in the military, and they treat it accordingly.
For real - M1 tanks can swap out the majority of a drivetrain assembly very quickly in the field. They’re designed with a logistics chain in mind. Major assemblies will be sent back to the supply depot or even the factory, and forward-staged spares will be subbed in.
