The ultimate extent of Quality is perfection and one of the areas where science and religion agree is that there's no such thing as perfection in the physical universe. Even somerihng as understandable as Absolute Zero temperature is purely theoretical and can not exist even in space.
In fact science has a phrase - in Vacuo - to refer to a perfect system which is not sunbject to any external force or influence. It is used for mathematical modelling of physical principals because it removes all extraneous variables.
Once you understand the limits of aiming for perfection, the definition of Quality becomes a negative - how far short of perfection is the item. Since you can never reach perfection it becomes a measure of acceptable shortcomings - which is subjective.
