I just don't understand why Porsche even puts PCCB's on the market knowing all the issues and expense of PCCB. I guess there are those out there that will but them anyway.

Imagine if PCCB replacement rotors are less than $1,500 each (vs. $3000+), I bet many will keep the rotors on their cars for track use. (if it is a little bit more than steel Brembo / Alcon / AP / etc. but offer longer life)
PCCB is expensive, but also pad choices are sometimes limited as well. There are only a handful of friction material companies that make CCB specific brake pads. Even at a lower cost, for a DE or Race user, it very well is a tough pill to swallow when steel brakes are a very easy and available option.
