Simple reason being is that the competitive landscape has dramatically changed from 2000 when the 996tt was introduced and Porsche has underestimated its competitors..

This last statement of yours is a perfect summary of the problem:
The 997TT is a slight improvement of the 996TTS.
However, the competitors have improved their cars much more than Porsche has.
The result: Porsche has lost its competitive advantage. The 997TT is not good enough.
I really hate to say it. However, let's face the truth.
P.S.: In writing this I still claim that the 997TT is faster than Gallardo/F430 up to 310kph
I always agree with you, but the one thing that doesn't let me just say "ditto" ist the 0-160 mph acceleration test. How can the Turbo be faster if the Gallardo is supposed to be quicker, according to the test? Looks like a real-world test is in order .
