STI has done non-turbo upgrades for a few years now, under the "tS" logo (tuned by STI). However, the U.S. wouldn't really understand that translation, so Subaru seems to think. The U.S. wants an actual "STI". So I can see why there's confusion there. The BRZ tS does have "STI" logos on it, but then there's the "impossible to own" "tS" badge on the trunk that sums it all up. This Concept is just hype to help justify more money for STI parts.

I noticed that SubaruGenuineParts.com stopped selling the STI aero lip kit from the Series.Blue. Subaru might have put a stop to that. They also stopped selling the Special Edition STI wheels for the 2015 WRX. So this is more like Subaru of America begging Subaru of Japan to just continue pushing STI parts to the U.S.
