Why does it make sense? The only major difference between the transmissions is the last gear...how does a short highway cruise gear contribute to "pure joy/performance"? "oh man I can floor it in 6th and I can sorta feel a little bit of acceleration wow so cool!"

My hope is that Toyota/Subaru notice the distress that the poor manual highway fuel economy is causing, and that they adjust the gear ratios in an update.
