Unfortunately in this case meets requirements just means it ticks a box. The meme is talking about people thinking military grade is top of the line. Like how the cheapest tire you can buy is legal and meets regulations, but it doesn’t mean it’s good.

    The same way building contractors advertise their work with “everything built to code”. Yeah, building code is the bare minimum requirement for something to be legally put on the market. Building to code isn’t a brag. It’s saying “we do everything as cheaply as possible. If we cut any more corners, the house would literally be illegal to sell.”
