what about the Japanese mechanical movements, why are they not being used?

I'm not a complete noob even though I have never posted before, I've done lots and lots of reading on here and really appreciate the wealth of knowledge that can be found here. I have a question or rather a thought that I'd like to hear some feedback on, seems like in the rep the world the outer part of the watch is almost approaching perfection yet the mechanical Asian movement remains very problematic so how come we don't see more of our favorite chrono watches like the Tag blue link chrono that I'm drooling over come with a quartz swiss movement OR the more reliable Jap mechanical movements like Miyota or Orient (they make their own movement)? sure I appreciate and love the complexity and beauty of mechanical but if it's gonna fall apart on me any moment I'd trade it for quartz without hesitation.
