its not the strain that is mid-grade. its the quality. you could have some white widow that is mids and never know it...
basically it depends on the grower. if he is shooting to get the top quality buds then of course thats what he expects... however if you're a commercial grower solely in it to make money, you plant tons of seeds. tons and tons, and you let them grow, as many as you possibly can. this sacrifices quality, the plants won't get the best lighting or air flow, and often times the growers will leave males in the grow, pollinating all the plants around, producing seeds. the weed is normally never flushed right and often tastes like chemicals, it is normally very stemy because of small buds (crappy growing) and after harvested and cured it is normally squished into bricks to be sold in mass weight. these types of growers don't give a shit about how the weed is. they can spend minimal money growing it and not really have to care for it too much. as long as they plant tons of seeds, they will have a high yeild pretty much no matter what.
so you see, it is not the strain, it is how well it was grown. thats why a lot of people plant bagseeds and come out with magnificent plants
