The only people who buy this car are enthusiasts, with some exceptions I’m sure. So why doesn’t Toyota/Subaru embrace that?

In addition to Tcoat's point (which matches my observations completely), not all enthusiasts have $35k to put into a sports car. There is a large difference between $25 and $35k. You'd see a lot less Mustangs and Camaros driving around if they only came with a V8 and the respective track packages.
