He doesn't mention Subaru at the end because they dont make a Quickfit for a Subaru but the Rallye 3 harness is meant to install in any car with suitable mounting locations. They have a list of cars that the Rallye 3 will work with but unfortunately it looks like the BRZ/FRS platform isn't on that list. SUBARU is on the list but only the Impreza chassis.
The strength of the seat is tested to make sure it can survive the load of the seatbelt because of the ~45deg angle of the shoulder straps going down to the rear seats. If the shoulder belts are mounted high enough then the seat back doesn't need to be as strong. That's why on the Subaru Impreza, the Rallye 3 harness can be installed if the shoulder straps are mounted to the higher "C" position but NOT if the straps are mounted at the lower "D" position.
But yes, in general it looks like Schroth won't recommend this harness for our cars since they haven't fully tested it. Bummer because it looks like a good solution for some people. I bet if they tested it, they would recommend it be installed just like OP did.
