The japanese RS is the very base trim, so that means no Recaros, Brembos, air con etc.

All those other stuff comes as an option that you can choose to put on at time of purchase, which by the sounds of it you didn't spec.

Not necessarily, you have to realize that most RS's are bought by race teams who will have no use for the Recaro seats as they wiil be putting in their own fixed back seats, same goes for other components.
So this is where you have the option of speccing the Recaros, Brembos, air-con etc. Why pay for something you arn't going to use?

Depending on the use of the car the AYC diff could be a disadvantage, which is why its an option on the RS's.
