The major difference is that in every definition of a lost sale I've ever seen, an attempt to obtain the product is needed before you can call it a lost sale. Anything else is window shopping.

I love looking at information on high end cars. Am I ever going to buy a Chiron? Not in my wildest dreams. Does that mean Bugatti considers me as a lost sale?

Though I did get to see a Veyron up close and personal once.

Just for a chuckle, take a look at the 5 pages of costs for various emission control repairs on a 2014 Veyron in the attached pdf document around pages 44-48.
