Having quietly read many discussions here it doesn't surprise me at all. Most people only know about the regulations that impact them directly. For example, in this thread it was asserted that only a US National can own a US registered aircraft. Simply not true. I'm not a US national and I have legally owned more than one US (N registered) aircraft. What is strange, but true, is that a US National and a non US national cannot be joint owners of an N registered aircraft. Ownership of US registered aircraft is actually restricted to "US Persons" a category that includes not only nationals but also those with resident alien status.
