Costs are spread over volumes that the 86 will never touch. So for other MFGs it's easier to offer more power & amenities for less cost. Whereas with the 86 Toyota and Subaru put the money where it counts (a truly dedicated sports car chassis) and left it up to the buyers to add power in the aftermarket.

We are paying for all the R&D costs :P
Component wise, this car is pretty bare bones. The WRX comes with an extra diff, a turbo, intercooler and ducting and uses a lot more material, yet it's priced the same (probably also due to the larger volume of sales).
