On purpose. And not for show (that pic was my first show ever; I'm not huge on shows) as much as for thoughtful OEM engineering. I made a diagram about this earlier in this thread:
There are some exceptions like I felt the fatter TRD shift knob needed the fat TRD wheel (which has no STI variant) to complement the feel. Also look at all the Subaru stamped body panels on the FR-S or the valve cover that says both "Subaru" and "Toyota." I'm continuing the lack of continuity.

I personally like the TRD strut bar better than the STI one, the shift knob looks better, the wheel, why did STI not come up with a wheel. Obviously the lip kit will not fit the BRZ from TRD, well all but the front would but the STI lip IMO looks better. Yeah it is odd, but this car as much as it is a Subaru, it is a Toyota.

Perfect explanation.
