Why no warranty for oil housing gasket?

Just wondering why BMW was not forced to put out a service bulletin for this? It is so common as the wastegate and hpfp is yet there is no warranty on it and drivers have to repair out of pocket for an issue that is clearly BMW's fault...

From what I understand this is accross all models
and extends far back into the past even into the last
century.

And they can't fix it and don't cover it for their consumers?

Are you saying they won't cover it during the warranty period? After the warranty period why would they cover it? Everything breaks; nothing is lifetime.
