I think you discount to some degree how much a ton of people kill them without drifting. The s13 is particularly prone to rust, for example, and fairs pretty badly in the US. I know many people who drift and have super clean cars - the issue I believe is a bit more to do with general upkeep and pride. Stateside, we have moved away from that. Cars have become basically disposable. In Japan (among other places) there is still a great bit of pride in what you own. They tend to simply have better upkeep.
%99 of the shells I find are garbage, regardless of drifting. That's just the new norm with the s-chassis. It was a cheap car, that cheap people buy and cheaply destroy. Drifting doesn't have as much of an influence on that as I think you believe. IMO of course.
