Yeah its for reformists, but still even high level bureaucracy and such shouldn't make terribly much sense with the equipment costing more while performing worse.

The old world factories focus tree is basically re-embracing the corrupt corporate structure of pre-War America. "Lowest bid" manufacturing does not actually select the cheapest and most effective product even in the real world, but whichever one paid off the relevant procurement committee members the best. The resulting maluses ingame are offset by the better stuff you can unlock through that path.

The only real reason to go for it is the various Power Armor stuff from what I understand?

That and by the end, APA Production Cost is a fraction of what it would normally.

In that case, what does new world manufacturing represent?

More managed abd controlled. Basically heeding Eisenhower and seeing the destruction of the world as partly the blame of a runaway MIC.

I still think the Lowest Bidder Focus should be balanced out with a lower production cost at the expense of other aspects.

That one part is balanced out by the rest of the Branch.
