Your answer is that there is none. Roadsters have never been big sellers relative to total sales. Even the Miata -- the most popular roadster in history, with just more than 1 million built since 1989 -- peaked at about 36K yearly sales in 1990, and was only over 30K for two years (1990-91).
Why, then, are roadsters so important that big luxury carmakers continue to spend hundreds of millions to develop them? Because of two reasons: 1). As a development platform, and 2). as a marketing tool.
It really is that simple. Roadsters are sexy. And carmakers know it.

You seem really angry and I think I only posted facts.
Did I say anything about any roadsters being big sellers?
I do appreciate you both asking yourself questions and then answering them.
