Why is the Rotax despised in the U.S.?

Ooops...politically correct...

Ummm..."some mechanics in the US are less familiar with
Rotax than the more commonly found Continental and Lycoming
engines popular in many US aircraft"

Or the translation (some mechanic terms may be mungled for
less clarit):

"What are you thinking bringing me this f****r to work on?
I don' have any G*****n parts for it and it'll take six
years and postage from Alaska just to get the m***********g
manual. You couldn't just put in a gool Ol' Cub engine?
This piece of s**t is designed by some b*********g
Swiss watchmaker..."

Often followed by the U.S. mechanic inquiring gently about
your geneology and how your sexual preference may inhibit
your prospects for children and there's probably a
mechanic in Massachusets that could better help you...
