Kenchan, Nissan has had cvts for over ten years now and supplied by Jetco which is partially controlled by Nissan through shares. They did indeed used to be crap but are being perfected over time. Most people only comment when things go wrong which is why most of what you hear online is garbage.
And that "niche", is why we now have a variety of copycats made by Jeep, Fiat, Buick... Thank you Nissan for another industry first.
And as for rarity, I see a few here and there, but mostly basic Jukes on a daily basis. The reason most people do not go with the RS is because most people can't stand the hard Recaro Seats.
Sometime people do not want something that other people already have an over abundance of, which is why i bought a Z instead of the 10 million mustangs already on the road, plus I wanted a Nissan. If I wanted to follow the majority to fit in, I would have a Rustang and Subie in my driveway. What I have is different. Paying a bit more for it is fine by me.
To get back on topic, the above last comment is another reason why a sporty Sentra will sell too, some people want something different.
