Door sill and center console pads

Why were the door sill and center console pads for your knees taken out of the second Gen? On the center console area they even still have the little plastic pieces where the leather pads used to be.

Some reviewers have already commented on their absence as well.

First model year or maybe first two model years of the FRS didn't get cushioned knee pads either. I'm not a bigger person like Matt Farah so it never really bothered me.

FRS got them in 2014. Not sure when or even if the BRZ ever got them.

Do you have photos of which pads you're referring to?
I have some padding in the knee area on my '17 Limited.
Though in my experience, those are still not sufficient for autox.
