That's because he drives it every day, year round, and obviously on trips long enough to burn off all the stuff you don't want hanging around in there. Unfortunately most people drive the complete opposite... once in a blue moon, only when the weather is mild and on trips where the oil doesn't have enough time to get up to temp..probably less than 20 minutes.
I don't think it was engineered to do the latter.

I feel woefully inadequate - engine failed (hydraulic lifter) at 136,000 with 89 track days.

Guess my engine was built by a hung-over mechanic on a Monday morning during Oktoberfest.
