It is true that they eat HGs like candy, and it can be a slow thing too - with the only symptoms being that the engine quietly consumes fluids without any overheating and/or mixing.
That is EXACTLY how our 2011 OB failed...slowly, until the overheating came around.
As to the big piles of them getting scrapped...
Our previous subie indie used that fact to his advantage by collecting engines with blown HGs.
He always had a repaired engine or 2 around for when his customers' cars needed that fix as well as taking in good cars with blown HGs which he could fix & resell.
That man was very dedicated to his loyal customers - a true rarity in this region for certain.
