You can’t buy a gearbox or wiper blades for a Bugatti Veyron at your local garage either!

There is a massive difference in performance between a Veyron and your average Kiwi vehicle, not that bigger difference in performance between a 202 and a dirty old T3. Not that I am knocking owning such rifles. If you can afford to then why not.
Stainless was a game changer in rifles. Sure they can still rust but nowhere near to the same extent as blued steel.
