One of the few cars that some versions came with EPS, some with hydraulic steering.
You are wrong to assume "hydraulic assist always feels better than electric assist". The first sports cars with electric-assist steering definitely suffered. My AP1's steering was very precise and quick, but no feel. The BRZ is HUGELY improved in that regard.
And as I've said, I was surprised to find that I preferred the 981's electric-assisted steering to my 987's hydraulic. And I greatly prefer my BRZ's steering to the 987's.
There have been *plenty* of haudraulic steering systems over the years that absolutely sucked, doesn't mean all hydraulic steering is bad. Same for electric. I don't think there's any technical reason a well-developed electric assist should *have* to have less or "worse" feel than hydraulic.
