I only need the switches on the left side but the part number only points to the right hand side piece, but it looks like the part number actually refers to a bunch of stuff: Cruise Control Switch, Steering Wheel Radio Controls, Steering Wheel Transmission Shift Control Switch, Cruise Control Release Switch.
Which seems highly wasteful and honestly if the 232 USD price is the only to get this then I will have to think about another solution.

Yes, the new dealer prices for these things are generally expensive. The switches, wiring harness, and bezel are all considered one part. I'm not sure about the AT paddle switches, but the cruise control attaches to the same harness, so I think it being in the part description is on account of it being the cruise control switch's wire harness and not including the cruise control switch itself.
If the new part price is too much for you (it was for me) you can explore used options. I'd bought a used Subaru steering wheel from eBay complete with all switches for less than dealer price for this part alone. It's a matter of luck what's available when you look, but if you spend enough time looking you may find a good deal.
