A) Why not?
B) Isn't it better, if you are tuning for the real
world, to be able to discover any problems with
cooling on the machine itself, and if there are none,
to tune the engine for the conditions it will actually
see when installed in a vehicle?

I'm not sure I understand that claim.  Would that not
also mean that you could only drive the vehicle for 30
seconds before having to shut it off?  Obviously that
is not the case.

I believe there are small improvements being made on a
constant basis, but the last 5 years or so has seen
substantial improvement, IME.
