What really set a lot of 911 buyers off in the past was because certain exterior styling and interior elements of the 986/987 cars were the same as the 911 and they were ticked off to be paying nearly twice a much for the 911. Not until 981 GT4 came out did the Cayman/Boxster get the same engine as the 911. Only the special and super expensive Cayman/Boxsters get the certain 911 motors.
Parts bin sharing isn't just a Porsche thing. It's a global thing across all makes. Subaru is probably the biggest parts bin sharing company out there.

You didn't even watch the video - it's a tear down and PN comparison - they are exactly the same care with the engine either in the midship position or the rear. The cars are about 80% the same, with the differences being cosmetic mostly.
The entire front subframe, the interior minus a few dash pieces, electronics and the entire chassis, are literally the same PN. Watch the video.
