You ever seen an engine from ANY factory come with a catch can?
No and you never will. All Engineers know better, it is obvious to them.
Companies will sell anything that people will buy. You can find all kinds of useless garbage for sale on the internet. Just because they make something doesn't mean it has any useful purpose. It just means the sheep are buying it.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't control your oil system. PCV is an oil control system and absolutely necessary. PCV is the most important system on the engine and tied with the oil pump.
What I AM saying is that connecting a large, stagnant reservoir to the crankcase is absolutely unnecessary, unwanted, and incorrectly implemented most of the time.
Additional volume will work against the pcv action, it will help create oil leaks, it will reduce the effectiveness of pcv. And when installed incorrectly, at the wrong height and wrong temperature, it will lead to oil contamination and reduced engine life.

You have got to be trolling. Tell that to all the direct injected cars with carbon buildup issues. Such engineering, much wow.
Oil in your intake manifold is never helpful to your engine, ever. I would agree than an open-atmosphere catch can is definitely not the best solution, but that doesn't mean you don't want to figure out how to keep that oil mist out of your intake.
