Why the dearth of top-of-line Japanese C&V?

Specifically I'm thinking about the larger, full range manufacturers like Fuji. There seems to be so few 70s Fuji Professionals for sale or being discussed on BF vs. Raleigh Professionals. Also Shogun (technically not Japanese but made in Japan)- it's impossible to find an example of their flagship model 3000. Lesser model Fujis and Shoguns seem relatively common. Were buyers of high end bikes in 70s/early 80s just not interested in Japanese made bikes? Share your thoughts please.
