> I have a couple 5 gallon plastic gas containers. They are terrible in comparison.

There are terrible designs everywhere: read The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman.

Heck, even doors: the moment you have to put signs that say "push" and "pull" on a door you know it's a terrible design. Have a look at product reviews on American's Test Kitchen's YouTube channel, and things as 'simple' as spatulas and cooking pans can be have bad designs.

If you want old-school design "jerry cans", checkout Wavian for metal options:

For plastic (HDPE ) options in the same design language see Scepter:
