It's pretty self-explanatory if you are familiar with the cars, yes? The FR-S follows the tradition of simple front-biased FR coupes with macpherson struts. It focuses on dampening and steering, but the actual engine layout, suspension design & geometry, etc. is unsophisticated. It tries to do as well as it can with what it has, and does a pretty good job at it, but chose the cheapest option to get there instead of investing in suspension design.
This is something Mazda has always excelled at with the Miata and the RX series. Very well designed suspension.
It's far easier and cheaper to throw less soft aftermarket coilovers on a Miata than it is to redesign the entire suspension of the FR-S.
