Because Porsche designs the cars to suit 90% of the buyers. Most people buying Boxsters don't want to eek out the last 1% of performance that a lightweight battery would provide. They'd rather have a battery that will last through a week or two of non-use and still start the car; a battery that will start the car when it is negative 18 degrees out; a battery that will last more than 15 minutes of leaving the lights on before it's dead.
If you replace the OEM battery with a lawnmower battery, those are the kind of issues you'll have to look forward to. And Porsche, along with the vast majority of the buyers, just don't want that.
