a proper fix with a helicoil is not a sub standard repair. in many cases it exceeds the strength of the original threads. don't be afraid to buy a bike that has been repaired correctly....
however, i am with you on the DIY crap out there.....lots of mudslinging is aimed at professional mechanics (some do not earn that moniker to save argument) and basically people in glass houses should not throw rocks. Some of you guys are dangerous...yet think you're great.
