Aren't VLJs prime candidates for fractional ownership?

That remains to be seen.
As NetJets and Cessna learned operating Citation II's, the airplane just
wasn't designed for the high number of cycles the fractional operator
was placng on them.
Cessna service centers provided maintenance for NetJet aircraft. Cessna
applied what they learned from maintaining these aircraft to beef up the
structures and components on successive aircraft designs.
When NetJet began purchasing follow on aircraft to the Citation II's,
manufacturers service center maintenance and spares were always included
as part of the new aircraft purchase contract.
