Yup, but this is the Euro spec Corolla which gets such added features. The US won't see these.

Too bad, but par for the course.

Not because Europe gets special treatment, but because they pay much more for their small cars than Americans. Americans associate cost with size so as our cars get bigger, so does feature content. We wouldn't spend $25K for a Corolla since we'd just get a Camry. Europeans regularly spend $25K for compacts, even sub-compacts.

I have a more EU way of looking at cars than a lot of US citizens do, but you're right. What you say is especially true (at least re what I have observed) in Texas and in parts of California well away from the coast....as well as more of what SOME coastal people (not me pre TX) condescendingly refer to as 'flyover country'.
