Hmmm... An engine you need to follow maintenance to the letter, then still cross your fingers that the apex seals don't randomly blow because the triangle-pushing fairies were drunk that Tuesday. Versus a shit ton of piston engines which survive with cursory, apathetic maintenance.
Yet both are 'equally' reliable...
I had a coworker that had triangles for brains tell me all the time about the wonders of 12As and 13Bs as he would pull them out and apart on his lunch breaks. I saw him personally replace 5 motors in 3 cars over 3 years. I've examined eccentric shafts, heard about dowel pinning the housings to increase longevity, and how apex seals are unpredictable no matter what you do. All learned from a rotory fan.
Rotaries suck balls everywhere except their compact size.
