They do, the same temp stat is in the Turbo, GT2 and GT3 cars, the cars they want maximum power from.

why won't Porsche put it in all their cars?

I think they got their buyer audience predictions wrong...assumed chicks and little old ladies would be puttering around town, instead of enthusiasts

Doesn't fit the profile of all the Boxster owners I know...

I recently replaced my water pump with stock, the thermostat with LN Eng, front engine mount with stock, and the oil cooler with the "S" model. I found the water pump much easier to do with the engine mount out and the engine dropped down a bit. As I was changing the coolant too, the hoses were also dropped and out of the way, giving a lot better access.

As a side note, I managed to get my torque wrench on every bolt except one of the horizontal motor mount bolts.

I know the temp gauge isn't the best source of info, but it says the engine does run a little cooler.
