The splash lubrication systems, which don’t have an oil filter, are effective and widely used in small, air cooled engines. Yamaha warranties their engines for 5000 hours if you use their oil and follow their maintenance schedule. In other word, the engine will outlast the rest of the cart. It simply isn’t an issue.

Regarding seeing more Yamaha carts on the side of the road, I would expect this as there are way more Yamaha carts than any other brand. The only number of value is the rate of failure across different brands and I am pretty sure you don’t have that data.
