A turbo kit + tuning + emissions + reliability + warranty is at least 10k.

Bigger brakes, stickier tires, wider wheels, beefier transmission and other things a car company would have to do to legally sell the car, and you're between 10-15k on top of what the car already sells for.

Yes, just slap on a turbo kit, and that's around 6-7k including tuning and installation.

-marginally bigger brakes cost the manufacturer...close to nothing
-wheels 1-1.5" wider cost the manufacturer...close to nothing
-more performance based tires cost the manufacturer...not much

Beefing up the transmission and all related forced induction equipment costs money yes, but not much more in the long run. A Porsche Cayman S costs roughly $10k more than a base Cayman. And for that $10k you're getting considerably upgraded brakes, suspension, a larger engine, different transmission and a few other options. Porsche has ridiculous amounts of profit built into their pricing and yet you're telling me that Subaru can't pull off an upgrade for less than $10-15k...even more than what Porsche does?

You gotta be kidding me.
