Am I missing something?

The only thing I can think of that you might be missing is that dry sump systems and wet sump systems behave differently. Additionally most of the guys don't have a dry sump system like you do, they have a wet sump system that well, behaves differently ...

Of course there are a lot of pre-oilers that appear on dry sump systems also which sort of begs the question why - go figure.
