I am not nearly educated enough in the auto industry to know for sure, but if I had to guess, it's probably something to do with profit margins.

I can't imagine these cars make manufacturers a lot of money - both because they don't sell in nearly comparable volume to others, but also because they probably require a lot of separate R&D and other expenses - along with the fact that, like the GRC, they're manufactured in a separate plant. Guessing that would require further resources to be pulled away from their moneymakers, i.e. Tacos, Camrys, "normal" Corollas, etc.

Here's the answer, at lease with the GR Corolla.

Great review, also noting this per earlier conversations about volume -

https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a41738282/2023-toyota-gr-corolla-circuit-by-the-numbers/

"Possibly the worst news for prospective buyers is that Toyota plans to build just 6600 GRs for the U.S. market this first year. The car has already achieved cult status and hasn't even rolled off the showroom floor. You may not get one the first year, but you will be able to eventually. It's worth the wait."
