Go to a different shop, you have toe out in the front which I guarantee is a factor in what you're feeling at high speed on anything but a perfect flat road. More rear toe in wouldn't hurt either, I have about 0.03° in the back now iirc but have put as much as ~0.25° (on each wheel), almost always at 0 toe front for me but I'm ok with some highway wandering at speed.

imho on each wheel:
0.00° to +0.03° toe in the front
+0.03° to +0.08° toe in the rear
Maybe you can ask for like +0.01°Front and +0.05°Rear for each wheel? That's what I would try if I had to fix your car.

The more toe-in you have the more stable the car will be at the sacrifice of responsiveness. It seems silly to argue over such little numbers but I guarantee you'll feel it, even at lower speeds, it's not some mushy economy car that can get away with never getting aligned and it feels 'fine' it's whole life.

Edit: seems like a lazy shop to me, bringing in the right rear (toe-ing it in) would help even out the camber and could actually get all the numbers green, but the machine probably tells them camber isn't adjustable and they can't do anything about it even though camber and toe adjustments are interlinked on this car due to the multi-link setup.
