Probably you are not shopping around. The brand has been around for probably 20 years and it is the brand that can be found in most shops that sell ceiling fans I guess.

I've been using the brand along with other brand like KDK and Panasonic for about 20 years and have no problem. I have one used for dining table. Yes need to replace bulbs now and then but the fan has not failed yet. Many I just use the lighting more than the fan

It is Malaysia brand. I think Alpha water heater are highly regarded product too.

Khind is another famous Malaysia brand and established like Alpha too. Don't know much about Khind fan but I think they are new to fan but I may be wrong.

If you ask me about fan, it is something fundamental. Basic fan has nothing secret about its technology. The choice would be more on the design you like and most important is if you can get the service near to your area. Most branded ones have good service networks and that is one of the reason their prices are higher than less known ones.

Yes you are right.

The bad capacitor can be due to AC spike in your house or reverse voltage produced by the fan coil. Usually it considered at 2x AC voltage but most capacitor in shop has rating of 450V. If you can find the 500V, then it would have longer lifetime.

Not commenting on you buy support your understanding and add my additional point only. At least you know what you were talking about
