They didn't. They screwed you with an auto tranny.

j/k
The pedal brake allows for a larger center storage area and arm rest. Its more of a luxury feature.

Not true.
A. the mechanism/line goes from the lever to the rear brake in both cases. The straightest/shortest/simplest mechanism is a lever in the center with a single line that splits at the rear to each wheel. A lever on the left side of the driver area would consist of more cable and routing making it a more complex system.
B. If it were cheaper they'd all have it not just the higher end V6s.
