Maff, an answer may be that the Robinson collective are quite sensitive about their environment.
The old argument was that bigger aircraft were far too expensive and the Rxx is as good at doing the same job for less.
The Cabri came along and started eating Robbo's lunch, so the faithful found fault with the G2 also - mainly all about cost, though few actually understand the numbers.
The cost has a cost, namely safety, though the faithful never believe the machine carries any responsibility, it is always someone elses fault.

When ford's kept falling over in the US, they eventually found and fixed the problem. They didn't insert a note in the owners manual asking people to drive slower or to turn less enthusiastically.
No one goes to Hertz and asks for a small Ford or a Merc that has a 1-star NCAP rating in the hopes they can shave a few bucks off the rental.
But we digress.

I really hope they can produce a 4-seater Cabri, it would be interesting to see that eat the R44 marketshare also.
