But aren't the brick composition and manufacturing process trade secrets?

Sure, but it can't be that hard to reverse engineee plastic bricks. I mean build a mold to size, try a few plastics, and you're done

The quality control is also huge. They have competitors with compatible pieces, but Lego's bricks are just better.

There used to be a Lego plant a couple towns over when I was a kid, employed a lot of people before it closed. It was always funny talking to kids that's parents worked there because they acted like they were in the CIA. I guess they all had to sign NDAs, so they were extremely tight lipped about their jobs.

Anyway, I am pretty sure Lego is the only company that has actually achieved 6 sigma... probably before it ever even became a thing.
