I think people are put off by the noise and smelly exhaust. I have a friend who used to tinker with Victa 2 strokes and even powered a go kart and push bike with a 160, but insists on mowing with four strokes as he says they are more "civilised". He was using one of those V40 Chondah Victas in unusually tall grass and it kept stalling. He admitted a Victa 2 stroke would have been a lot better for that. I said you should keep one handy and he agreed. It has been over a year and no 2 strokev and I doubt he'll get one.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
