It may not be about them being a junk driver. A lot of people think they are racing on the street when the other driver hops on the throttle for a bit and lets off. I'm not saying your situation was that, but on the trolling car scene pages on facebook here I see slower cars talking about how they destroyed a much faster car on the street all the time. Most people don't like tickets is what it comes down to.
I'm with mike on this. I drove (my) 15 WRX for years prior to going the BRZ route.
As you said, the twinscroll is by no means a gentle curve to max boost and it can be very deceiving, but it is still a faster car in a straight line on the street.
Is it vastly superior? Not really. Is it noticeably faster (not just due to boost, but overall), yes.
For the record I still have a 15 wrx in my driveway right next to the BRZ. I prefer the BRZ by far, so there isn't a bias.
