Is Remington Peters brass really that bad?

Not sure about more recent lots, but I purchased 500 R-P in 25-06 just before Covid, and with a load using 85 grain NBT and 60 grains of MRP, they are producing 0.6-0.7" groups at 200 yards in my rifle. I have several older R-P brass in 243, 270, 308 and 30-06, and after a little load development, they group as well as some much more expensive brass. If I conducted a blind study, most people would never know the difference in the groups they fired. Especially in the field.
It wasn't my choice for BR brass, but I have hand selected and prepped various bulk factory brass and shot many very tiny groups.

Do you recall how much you may have culled? Particularly the Remington's? I have hand selected and prepped the remaining Remington brass but, I am only keeping 1/3 of what I started with.

I've got a bunch of .300 RUM Remington Peters brass from about 16 - 18 years ago and it has held up great. I don't know much about the new stuff.

These were brass from years ago and not current, and if my old memory serves, I only rejected maybe 10-15% for various reasons. Some brands were a little less. These were for BR shooting and extreme varmint shooting, but as the years went by, we learned that unless the brass was way off in some quality and variations, it had far lesser impacts on accuracy and performance than other factors.
