Is it possible that Toyota/ Subaru designed the system poorly to allow the user to over-fill the car before it clicks off? Is that why this is happening, or are people just doing the click-click-click-click-oh gas spilled out I better stop?

I wonder that myself, because I never "top off", or keep trying to put more in after the first click. I've always just pulled the lever until it kicks off and quit.

I can't say for certain that the same policy was in effect for 2013MY, but my hunch is it was.
If you're still within warranty time and mileage, you're golden. The dealer would be risking a showdown with Toyota otherwise, it's a serious Federal offense for a dealer to deny EPA mandates. One call to the Toyota 800# will get the dealer's attention quickly if they deny coverage.
See p. 18 in the link for 2019 86 or if you have the separate Warranty & Maintenance Guide that came with your car, even better:

Wow... if that's the case then I'm still within that boundary. I'm only at like 72k miles. I'll definitely be looking in to this one. Thank you!
One day I will have posted enough times to use the "thanks" button.

I so sent a message to the guy at the dealership and this is what I got back:
"These are the components covered by the 8/80. Specific components."
I realize this specific issue is because I have one of the early vehicles made, but I've had more issue with this FR-S than any other car I've owned combined. It's had multiple recalls, and early on I also had to have to fuel pump replaced 3 different time. I'm wishing I hadn't bought this car now.
