Every time your car gets wet, water gets into places that take days to dry out again. Over time, these areas can rust, Porsche's galvanizing notwithstanding. A good example of this is the joint between the tub of a 911 and it's front fenders. Or, have a look under the weatherstripping in the front trunk of any 914. I could list dozens of examples.
Plated finishes don't last forever. Have a look at the fasteners on a car that's seen a lot of rain, then go look at one that has been kept dry.
Pull a tailight out of a 911 that's seen a lot of rain and take it apart. Take note of the corrosion inside.
Disassemble a 911 for a restoration and take note of how much time you spend cleaning an 1/8th of an inch of crud off of every part underneath it, before you get to the real work of refurbishing the parts.
Etc., etc.
