I think a lot of people completely miss the point of the twins. These cars are all about doing the most with the least. Have you noticed that when open the hood there's no metal fenderwells? That the roof, hood and fenders are paper thin? That even the glass is thin? That everything about this car was done from the ground to make something that was inexpensive but brilliant?
There's not a car out there that posses the same fanatical engineering philosophy within 30K of it's price point. The next closest thing really is a Porsche Cayman. There is a reason that people with exotics respect these cars despite the price and "lack of power". There is a reason that these cars have grabbed the worlds attention. Because such a pure, dedicated car hasn't existed at this price point in a VERY long time.
Theses are enthusiasts cars, engineers cars. Cars for people who get "it" These cars are the 240Z's of 40 years from now. They inspire because they were inspired.
Please take your request for added garbage like sunroofs, convertibles, T-Tops, Targas, etc and buy a Camaro, Mustang, 35/70Z, Corvette or any number of other cars that manage to do a good bit with a lot. I'd prefer my car to keep doing a lot with the least. That's amazing, that's engineering, and that's what legends are made of.

While it's true that this car has the potential to be a collector's car in the future, you cannot deny the fact that this car is designed to be a tuner's car. I understand that you might be a purist when it comes to the 86, but the reality is that people will modify it like crazy and I will not be surprised if I see these mods in the future.
And btw, I don't believe this car is for people who get 'it', there's no such thing. I get that owning an 86 feeds the ego of some people and I think that's completely BS. At the end of the day, this is just a car, people can afford it, that doesn't make owners "people who get it".
P.S. Don't be too serious, the OP just wants a fun discussion.
