It's a cost issue. Manufacturers have to slowly implement added costs, because ultimately, it gets passed on to consumers.
Frankly, EVERY EcoBoost motor in Ford's lineup should have both port and direct injection. It will happen, but unfortunately it will take some time.
I had heard, a good 5-6 years ago, that all the EPA requirements were basically adding close to $10k to every vehicle. Not sure if that's true, but I can certainly see that we are all paying a lot in added up-front costs, increased maintenance costs, and replacement costs down the road due to impacts on longevity.
