It's very difficult to retrofit all of the G1000 LRUs into an older
certified aircraft, hence the G600 (six pack) to go with the G430/480/530
radios..

You're thinkiing of the G900...G1000 for kitplanes.

The G600 is simply a six-pack replacement for certified aircraft.

As far as lame goes, the potential buyers of the G600 probably already
have
GNS430s/GNS480s/GNS530s in their airplane. Why would they want/need to
replace them?

For the same reason I find flying the Cirrus Avadyne system lame. The
lack of integration. The G1000 system in the Mooney is so much nicer.
Everything at one screen, no need to fumble from unit to unit to
change nav/com, set flight plan, initiate approach, etc
