HGST was bought by WD long ago. Has that had any impact on the types of drives sold or the quality?

No. To the point when WD tries to rebrand those drives away from HGST, the market demanded HGST and they brought it back a year later.

At what point do they rebrand crappy WD drives as HGST?

They already have a reputation of obfuscating information (SMR vs. CMR)
