you'll probably hear opinions to the contrary. In which case,
you could buy a portable nat gas generator, but the one's I've
seen cost a lot more than converting one.

Wouldn't that imply that something isn't being done on the conversion
which is done with equipment designed to use natural gas? Possibly
something involving safety?

I'd suspect a "volume of sale" issue. Cheaper
to crank out a gazillion consumer models of
units.
And places like US carb crank out conversion kits at a rate that
makes THEIR costs reasonable - using components - like the regulators,
made in huge numbers for other applications as well by other LARGE
manufacturers.
