I don't think that distinction is ironic, really. It doesn't take much to design a part for racing use only. It's expected that it will have just enough functionality to get the job done, you can require the racer to modify the car to make the part work, has to be lightweight, and it probably won't last forever.

Street parts have pretty much the opposite expectations; people want lots of functionality, don't want to cut up their cars, demand low NVH, and it has to last forever with no maintenance. It's a much more demanding task.
