Don't think there is an issue with their oil filter media so much as poor spot welding... or glue blocking passages on some cartridges.
The reusable oil filter touted in this thread has a micron rating of 30 or 35 depending on which link is viewed.
Wix does better (25):

Did not find a rating for the Honda oil filter.
Be interesting to compare not only micron ratings but how much contaminants can be retained before the bypass opens and stops filtering.
I used disposable K&N oil filter cartridges on my last two Yamahas, after inspecting no ports were blocked by glue (had to send one back), primarily because I could order them at a very good price from O'Reilly Auto parts.
Thinking about helping my youngest son in law clean his k&N air filter on his F-150 last time I was in Arizona, there are other costs that showed associated with using a reusable oil filter or air filter:
In addition to time there is also solvents and cleaning up after the clean up!
