"Out of production" is irrelevant. The real issue is sales volume.

Subies are very popular, even the ones that are out of production. (Not sure if Borla plays there, but still.) Most of the Honda Civics being modded out there are not the current production model, either.

Lots of OOP American muscle cars have tons of aftermarket support, 30 and 40 years after their "death." Same goes for Italian and German cars, too. Crap, even Alfas have good support, and they haven't been sold here since before the Contour was born.

Volume, volume, volume. That's the reason. How many Contours were sold with V-6's? How many Contour owners give a crap about headers?
