I'm not really sure how people are finding this hard to understand but let's try one more time. The Subaru dealer is used to working on very similar engines, some of which, including the FA20DIT in the WRX, have similar oil capacities. They're more likely to know what they're looking at and be able to perform routine maintenance on it properly because it is literally what they do all day, every day.
When you bring it into a Toyota dealership, it is "that Subaru thing". One rarely ever rolls into service and not only that, the usual vehicles that roll through there are nothing like it. Many dealerships just plug their nose and do the work so they can get it back out the door. Does this excuse the fact that a first grader should be able to look up the oil capacity and properly verify it after filling it? No, not really, but sadly, that's where we are right now in a lot of cases, as evidenced by the OP.
It's all about risk mitigation. I'm sure there are Toyota dealerships that can do an A+ job on these but I'd be willing to bet as a whole, your quality of service is better from Subaru.
