Well Bob, if we take the function to the limit, i.e. size reduction, size goes to zero, hence no filter. Whereas taking it to the other limit is a filter that is too large to be practical, but the engine would (should) last indefinitely, if crud in the lubricant was the determining factor.

I think it has more to do with interference than functionality. The engine has to fit a certain envelope and filters are usually testing that envelope.....and then there are location problems for the engine designer and chassis folks.
