mainly because you've got to drop the motor out

so there's $1000 bill right there plus $600 - 1400 for cams & springs plus someones time to fit them its goiing to be getting on for $3K by the time your done which is nearly the price of a FI kit
I don't think anyone would shell out $2-3k for 20whp. 40'ish whp would def be worth it though (that's already similar to a mild FI setup's power); but I think even 30-40 whp from cams would be very hard to attain. I remember the NA honda days, it would be difficult to get anything over 20whp from a 1.6-2.0 dohc vtec.
