Here it is again. I know you already know this but it may have slipped from memory. Ready?
Compromise.

You have not provided an answer, what exactly
can be compromised on an air intake?
You've spouted a bunch of costs for developing hardware and implied that Toyota, of all people have shortchanged this car somehow, I'm wondering what exactly is not optimal.
I do not doubt the aftermarket can make improvements over OEM's, this is not the case for modern air intakes.
