I agree.

I am actually surprised Porsche does not sell crate engines, given the number of cars that need them.

If my Corvette motor dies, I can go to Chevy:

If my Fox Body Mustang dies, I can go to Ford:

It seems like Porsche would see the market for crate engines. I understand there would be a price difference from Ford & Chevy, but the skill level difference between pulling an engine and building an engine is big enough to warrant the market for crate engines IMHO.
