True, but to be fair, a full rebuild of a SC 3.0 will easily cost as much as replacing an M96 or M97 that had a catastrophic failure. And there are a good number of people now rebuilding the modern engines when they have usable cores. Let's also not forget that you can get two nice 986S for the same price as a driver 911SC.
