Lexar? They used to be top-tier manufacturer, but I believe they were sold to a non-name Chinese brand and are now about as good as any Aliexpress crap?
Several years ago, "Lexar" the brand name, got sold off to Longsys, a Chinese company. It is no longer the same as Micron.

Before the brand name Lexar got sold off, Lexar was a Micron subsidiary. That's where Lexar got its good rep from, because Micron is a reliable, premiere memory manufacturer, as in, they make their own stuff and don't have to source memory chips from anyone else. If reliability is important to you, buy from Micron, Solidigm (Hynix-Intel), Samsung, SanDisk-WD, Kioxia (Toshiba) if at all possible, to ensure you get A-grade memory.

If you buy from anyone else, you don't know where they sourced their memory from. This "Longsys" Chinese company may well just shove whatever is cheapest to buy each week, into their cards, including buying from less-reliable memory makers (smaller Chinese manufacturers).

Basically the big players like SanDisk feed themselves first, and any surplus or B-grade memory (bad batches that got more defects and can't be trusted to run at proper speeds, etc.) get sold to smaller players.

Some non-manufacturers like Kingston do enough of its own testing, and have long-term contracts so as to avoid the "memory roulette" issue where the label is the same month to month, but the memory might not be. So I'd regard Kingston as almost as good as buying direct. Still, it's better to buy from the actual manufacturers directly, to avoid guessing games as much as possible.

Lexar was the best back in the day. One died on me, and I went to sandisk. I bought so many. After 1 died on me, I went to samsung micro sd. Haven't had one died yet. I use it for dji action 2, gopro 7, gopro9, insta360 go3, a9, a7r2, a7s2. I do wish they make 1tb one. For 1tb... I got sandisk 1tb ssd. I heard the newer one got some kind of problem.

Why hasn't a name brand (SanDisk, Samsung) produced a higher than 512GB micro SD?

Crucial is owned by Micron. It literally says "Crucial by Micron" on the link you posted.

Fwiw anecdotally, I've been using lexar micro SD, blue and gray cards (standard and pro) for 3+ year years in my 3 phones as expansion internal memory running apps from them, as well as for taking video, pics, music and they've been fast, responsive and reliable. I was surprised because of what I read about them, but I haven't had any problems with them at all unlike pny premium pro elite which lasted 6 months, and some sandisks that lasted 18 months. They have lifetime warranties in USA, which is some reassurance and they're cheap. The difference is I know I got real lexar longsys cards cuz I got them from Staples retail using recycling rewards and not Amazon roulette. If you can, I suggest price matching at a b&m retailer to make sure you're not getting a knock off
