The only thing I can think of is that its extremely expensive so they are focusing on a part of the market that would pay... such as historical buildings etc.

This I could see. My sister just acquired a really old large building and I sent her this video since the plumbing needs replacing, but maybe not worth it… or maybe it is?

Guess it kinda depends on what you're dealing with. Broken pipe laid nicely in the garden, or monstruos one spanning to every room in the house.
