Default Pistons

About 60% of the power losses due to friction are caused by the pistons in a conventional internal combustion engine. Another parasitic power loss is due to the mass of pistons. Then why are we using 1920's piston design technology in our Model "A" & Model "B" engines wherein pistons have very long skirts?

Is there a Model "A" & "B" engine builder out there that uses modern pistons?
