I think a lot has to do with public misperception and the particular alloy used.
A couple of examples of the difference of opinion:

From another thread - 'Ti cracks easily and shouldn't be used in stressed applications', but the Russians use Ti as the pressure hull material for their attack submarines (a bit of a stressed application).

- Even the con rod issue seems to have totally different sides - some say the rods don't last longer than a race rebuild, but Porsche is currently using them in their current GT-3 customer road car.
