I do "get it". See, with the Yaris available as a simple, bared boned car, what happens when you start adding the "extras" (that almost every other car has standard), it really shoots the price up quickly. That's economics. Every time things are bought or added separately, it costs more.

So Toyota can build a whole car and sell it for $12K. But add power features, upgraded wheels, and a ground affects kit, and price goes up about 33%!

It's kinda like when McDonald's will sell you a whole Double Cheeseburger for $1 and then charges $1.89 to add 2 half strips of thin dried out bacon.
