A Miata just doesn't meet a lot of people's requirements. I would buy one for an autocross car, track car or weekend car. But not a car I'd use daily, it's just not practical enough. And since not everyone autocrosses or does track days, having a car solely for a weekend car can be a bit much (of course I have several of them but whatever).

Also every car in the world is a momentum car. No car on this planet is faster if you slow down too much for corners. Really hate that phrase used to describe low horsepower cars.
