I admit, I struggled when it became common for people to say “We sell Quality products”, instead of “We sell products of high quality.”

This started in the late 1990s.
I don’t know why. Maybe there was some popular movie with that usage in the dialogue. No one seems to be bothered by it except me, so I no longer try to explain and correct.

“We sell Quality products”,

Bad is a quality ...

A fairly recent thing in management jargon is "velocity".

Zero is a velocity. A velocity can be negative. In the case of "best practices" fad driven management, "velocity" in the wrong direction isn't uncommon.
