But I suppose you are correct, if you are selling just the engine and ignoring its final use/application then just demonstrating its peak numbers without any of the actual final bolt ons is a better marketing tool?
Or if the numbers are strong then why not? A big part of each story is what it went in and where. There's a builder online that sells a sh!t ton of "engines" but I strongly feel that most of them never even get into the cars or the cars never get finished so all the "satisfied customers" really have nothing to go on.

I do not believe it is a marketing tool. It is the best way to measure the numbers between engines, and possibly builders.
So what if it puts out 550 RWHP? In a 10k pound truck, this may not mean squat. In a 1800 pound stripped out Opel GT, it could mean 10 second quarters.
The questions most people should be asking are; Is he reputable? Yes. Are the engines durable? Yes. Does it meet YOUR HP requirements? Yes. Does it have decent torque across YOUR operating range? Yes. Does it have a reasonable price? Yes. Then buy it.
