The vast majority of cars won't get tuned. The high compression and direct injection do make a large difference to fuel consumption.

The pressure on OEMs to improve fuel consumption is fast becoming the first priority for new cars, whether it be from customers or from governments. If they had ditched the hgih tech engines for sonething more tuner friendly they probably would have also had to ditch the idea of selling the car in Europe too and that is the biggest sports car market in the world.
