This is just another guess. I think a large percentage of hobbyists don't even think of turning, and a large number are afraid to have them turned, for fear of destroying the drum. Never mind the drum may be unsafe junk already.
If people were properly informed I believe they would be more willing to buy safety. Therefore supporting reproduction at realistic costs. A drum conversion is by no means cheap, even if you don't care about authenticity.
