Because... money.why change what works good?
Folks seem to forget about ILSAC. That would be the organization who'd have to deal with fuel dilution and define what's "normal".
After all, ILSAC is the lobying arm of North American and Asian car manufacturers. Just like the API belongs to the big oil companies. Though it's not at all a "big conspiracy", but more like each organization looking after their own priorities.
Motor oil cannot address desing issues, manufacturing defects, and my favorite, poor metalurgy. In that respect, the API is correct.
LSAC had their way more than once, like with LSPI for instance. That's a design failure of epic proportions driven by the desire of the OEMs to produce cheaply manufactured small displacement TGDI engines. Changing oil formulation is a bandaid for that particular problem, not a fix.
