Because Subaru stopped making a reliable STI (i.e. the 2 litre) for the UK after 2005/06.

Reducing supply (crashes, breakers...) and increasing mileage of the Blobs means those with low/sensible mileage are holding value and in some cases increasing.

That's what I kind of thought was happening mines a 2003 with 78k is that classed as low it's just parked up at the minute as I am busy doing the house up so will get it back out sometime soon when I have the time for her.

A good unmolested Type R, STi RA or even a WRX RA are looking good. It will cost you £10k off the boat for a good Type R.
