The exact context in which the word “quality” was used, since you seem to have glossed over it was: they were made with enough quality that they are still used today No one said that these are high quality homes. They said that the caliber of build was strong enough to be inhabitable 80ish years later.

I live in a communist block built in '89. The outer walls are 1m thick, while the inner walls are 50cm thick. I can’t hear my neighbours, even if they’re having a party. We even have a 7m long terrace. It’s a nice enough appartment, especially since the city made a lot of green areas with plenty of trees, playgrounds, schools, shops, etc. Granted, the later were post-communist additions, but it’s still a nice place to live. And yes, I’m aware of the state of most of these commieblocks, I’m just saying it’s also possible to have a nice “communist” apartments as well. We had to work abroad for 4 years to be able to pay for it, but we could do it without taking on a mortgage for 30 years. Would I rather live in a house with a garden than in a flat? Sure. Would I rather live in a house with a garden while paying a huge mortgage for 30 years? Absolutely not.
