This. It's marketing. I worked in new model development for a major manufacturer long enough to know that they are always dangling the carrot to get you to buy up.
It's also true that the take rate would be extremely low for most of these options if presented in a "lower tier" model. There are cost caps on models, and the manufacturers know where that is, so it makes no sense for them to bother offering some options.
