Then why do some cars have it, and some cars don't? Just because it doesn't have a performance, or actual impact on the car, it can affect the driver's experience - which is a fundamental component of the 86. I consider it an issue as do many others.
They're called manufacturing tolerances. Every part has a range of dimensions. The ranges may be thousandths of an inch but sometimes that makes all the difference. When you're dealing with fuel at hundreds to thousands of PSI it can make a huge difference. That's why some have them and some don't, but they can all still meet specifications. I deal with this same type of stuff literally every day I'm at work. It can be very frustrating but machining and manufacturing are inherently imperfect because the tools that are used to do them and the people who operate them and the world they're operated in are all inherently imperfect.
