I was given a loaner Corolla to drive around for the time they were diagnosing my complaint, and immediately upon pressing the brake pedal in the Corolla I felt as though I found what the issue was.

Toyota's brake feel in their modern cars is just unacceptable. My father 2007 Tundra has great brakes, his 1993 Camry has great brakes, and my step-mothers 1997 Camry also has great brake feel. But, my 2013 FRS and the loaner 2015 Corolla brakes feel woeful.

I conclude that there isn't an issue with the brakes themselves, just a personal issue with how the brakes feel.
I have no idea what you are talking about. I own 3 vehicles of different makes/models and regularly drive at least 4 more. The brakes in the FRS are absolutely on par with everything else, and probably better than most. I'm so glad they didn't go with the ultra grabby brakes that most modern, cheaper cars have. They actually have a good feel and give to them.
