Probably because Bugs were designed for 25 to 60 HP and there is no easy routing of a front oil cooler and thermostat like a 911. It has been way to many years since I worked on my bug. I bet many have tried to engineer a front oil cooler and it must be difficult to do.
A bug with that much power must be scary. My 73 Super Bug was scary above 75 MPH and I was a invulnerable teenage male when I tried it and the car was brand new. It was astonishing how much better the 914 was at that speed.
