It's not an absurd notion to think that people aren't always interested in every possible feature available. Even looking back to 4th gens, lots of Z28's with cloth, manual adjust seats even though power leather was available.

Base models, across every range, outsell the fully equipped versions. Its not an industry secret. Its also not a business secret to have clearly defined tiers of products on offer. Some priced so that people can join and be comfortable with the brand and others that people will aspire to buy in the future.
Hence the base offerings. Not every camaro is a fully optioned z28/ss/whatever. You are right its not an absurd notion to think a practical person wants a practical car. I'm sure car companies also realized a muscle/sports car is impractical and tiered the options as such. I don't get why there is such butt hurt over a highly desirable car that can perform and be comfortable/entertain/used daily/creature comforts that the majority market wants. You being the minority wanting what no one wants will never sway them. You can buy the z28 track car actually. Highly tested around the ring and proven to perform with no bull ****. You can also hop on craigslist and buy a budget beater to build to your liking.
