The issue is there are are trade secrets involved in the construction and metallurgy of high performance motocross engines, and triumph is learning it on the fly. The finish surface and composition of certain items is critical. If they stuck with it, the bikes will be sorted in the third or fourth generation at best. Year models 7-10 id say. The problem is likely tied to outside suppliers not meeting criteria that was claimed they would. Imho
Your last sentence is the only truthful statement in your whole paragraph.
The metallurgy and finish of the internal parts is no trade secret whatsoever. Any numbnuts can go online, buy the parts from a competitors bike, and have them analyzed for metallurgy and finish. Triumph has "fancier" metallurgy/coatings/finishes in their 765cc Moto2 engines than anything in a production four stroke single off road engine.
Same kind of problem thing hamstrung KTMs RC16 MotoGP engine until two races ago. Outside supplier screwed up a valvetrain part costing them reliability and performance that if they started the season with would have probably let them hang on to Pedro Acosta. Just because they are sealed engines some of their competitors wouldn't let them get fixed until they were good and screwed for the season in the manufacturer's standings.
Agreed, I know dudes that are still loving them for freestyle way more than their kawi's that were shutting off on the landing. To each their own, they ride well and they are taking care of their customers, win in my book.
