For the thrill of the thread. And to keep people coming back. Also it's the way it's done. Intrigued?

Hell ya! I think the slightly chewed look gives 'er personality (moxie)...As far as tricks with hand-file,and other touch ups, growing up we managed to fix half the stuff were tore-up. Still got whoopins from the other half..
So just to play devil's advocate, you utilized a part from a less well-known manufacture (note I didn't say less reputable which would infer low quality) and your personal opinions aside and that part failed for whatever reason. Am I reading to much into this or do you have your answer as to why right there?
Will check back later when a point to this thread reveals itself.

At a carbine course last week, I noted that the sewn-in QD swivel on my VCAS sling looked and felt like it engaged the Noveske socket on my NSR, but didn't. I caught the rifle before it hit the dirt. It did subsequently engage solidly after I pushed it down hard.
Some swivels fit the depth of some sockets better than others, apparently.
Things break and get damaged, in some cases its a fluke and some its not. Having a qd break should not cause you to write them off altogether. I have seen m4 stocks sheer off still use them.
Just asking is it a possibility that when you dropped your rifle it landed on the button(the weakest part) causing the damage.
Had a DD QD attachment point (not supplied with swivel) that was out of specs and would release by turning the swivel in it. They had a batch made with this problem back in fall/winter time frame and the attachment points made it out to distribution before they caught it.
DD made it right for me. Fortunately, I discovered it before dropping a weapon, because I hate push-ups, even if they are only 10 Army push-ups.
