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.

Ummmm I think you needed to read up one more post there F. He figured it out on his own.
Personal taste is exactly that personal. I personally think the brakes are great.
