Logitech's build quality has tank dived about as badly as Blizzard's give a damn's have about the quality and balancing of their games. To many companies that do well for themselves get greedy and/or complacent and rest on their laurels all too often.
I finally got my hands on a MX Keys and I'm very statisfied with it, I don't know the quality of the mechanical ones though. It also has a thing I never knew I wished it existed and is jumping between 3 pcs with a button press, it certainly has made my work easier.

A company magnitude larger (Apple) could not make scissor witches work and had to go back to regular switches.

This is wrong. Apple made a new version of the standard scissor switch, which they called the butterfly switch.

Companies have been using the standard scissor switch for a very long time, including most laptops on the market. Scissor switches absolutely work, and what they are trying here is nothing new, like apple was trying. Do some basic research here. Scissor switches are so common, that I would wager you have some in your home or work, and you don't even apparently realize it.

You could have read the topic before commenting. Yes i got these mixed up somehow but others have corrected me already. So instead of assuming you could hav read the topic in full. And no - i have no scissor switches. Mechanical (Cherry Brown, Romer-G tactile) all the way.
