And lots of quite wealthy people have 996, 987, and 997s and are just waiting for bore score to blow £££££ on relining and rebuild. They're actually quite popular as track toys as well as the last 911s with hydraulic steering.
The fact the motor has so many inherent design flaws probably makes it easier for Dammit to sell engines... I doubt there would be any market at all for the same amongst, for example, 997.2 owners.
Having said that, my dream car is a 996 GT3 and I'd definitely just buy one rather than developing an engine, or buying a swish engine for a non GT 996 - but that's just me, not that I'll ever be able to afford either.
