Considering that the shorter cams can eventually favor the low-end torque, it makes sense.

In the Miller cycle the intake cams are the ones grinded, not the exhaust. And it uses a supercharger instead of a turbo, or you could eventually use both

Well, in a V-Twin you can make a compact setup placing the supercharger in the middle of the cylinders.
