Its hard on cats, thats all. Read this link, its Comp Cams who suggests it interviewing shell about its use in the high performance world. I dont want to spoil it for you, but it proves everything you say wrong.

ROTELLA T 15W-40 conventional and 5W-40 synthetic still contain three to five times the amount of the desirable anti-wear additives as some current gasoline-engine oils.
The truth is that the current API CJ-4 category rating offers enhanced levels of anti-wear protection and, according to Shell, ROTELLA T was designed with flat-tappet camshaft protection in mind.

Not like it matters if it's hard on cats. Most people on here who are turbo, don't have a cat.
