Why wouldn't a true, best-quality sidelock designed to shoot modern, heavy target loads be able to take the abuse of competitive shooting?

Back at the turn of the century, the thin upper crust of British society put thousands and thousands of rounds through their Purdeys during a shooting season. In fact, they probably put more rounds through them than most target guys do today.

Those guns stood up to the challenge, and those guns are still around today.

I imagine price is the real reason why you don't see more true best-quality guns on the target circuit. Not quality.

A new Hartmann & Weiss O/U is going to cost you $130,000+ plus a long wait, even if you could get one (which you probably can't).
