The more racing oriented here can chime in on this.
So where are these re-manufactured engines the dealers are selling coming from then? It sounds to me like Porsche's policy is to recommend replacement for any engine problem (even if a full dignosis can't be made because they don't want to fully inspect it), then send that engine back to the factory to be rebuilt for the next unlucky Porsche driver to buy for another $10,000. They are probably making a good buck doing after warranty replacements on their faulty design.
