Why doesn't Nissan have legendary Toyota, Honda and Suzuki reliability?

Why doesn't Nissan have legendary Toyota, Honda and Suzuki reliability?

They used to. I had Nissans for many years. Then after two recalls and a bad experience with my local Nissan dealer's repair shop, I switched to Hondas.

Nissan started as Datsun. Datsun didn't have a reputation for quality.
