Who in the world would buy a new wet pump and separator from Aircraft

forever, there were tons of them manufactured decades ago, and they're
everywhere. You can have one overhauled for much less than the cost of
a new dry pump, and you get old ones from any salvage yard. Any
mechanic worth his salt knows how to do this. The mechanic who just
orders new from Aircraft Spruce is going to cost you a lot of money.

I guess the guys that are making the new ones must be a bunch of idiots not
to know this.

No, they're very smart. They realize there are plenty of Rapoports
out there
