We do have expensive brake options from various third parties I'm sure. They're much better than the stock ones, and most people don't need them unless they're on a track. Kinda like the oil cooling. The oil:water interface in the block is enough for most people on the streets, the cooler is the track upgrade. I agree that this isn't ideal (especially for the enthusiasts), which I've commented on before, but I can definitely see their financial angle on this. What percentage of 370Z owners do you think will ever even have (much less notice) a brief oil temp spike over 260? We're not the norm.
