This is my bet! Poor installation carries the lions share of issues with windows and doors. There is not much difference from one manufacturer to the other, except the add-on bells and whistles or series options. (that opinion comes from 10 years of selling the top 3 side to side in a built-in showroom display, each brand trades something to better another item they deem more important. It is all marketing)

In a log home it is even more important than with a conventional framed home to get the flashing detail correct, because there is minimal space to make the proper flashing fitment work. There are ways to implement "timeless" exposed flashing details that have been used in this area for hundreds of years.
