This could most certainly be a factor especially if the Subaru/Toyota engineers already knew that the AT would be close to or exceed the limits. At some point the cost analysis would say it just isn't worth it. Since the AT cars did get all the other improvements there had to be some very strong reason they did not do them all. We will never be privy to that info though.
