Subaru manufactures its own
Subaru manufactures its own manual and CVT transmissions (for non-Kei cars). Since the 1970s, all Subaru conventional automatic transmissions have been Jatco designs adapted to Subaru specifications....
CVT is cheap to make and that is main reason Subbie Nissan Honda use them.
Savings of manufacturing cost should have been passed into customer and Subbie does not do that.
CVTs and it's poor and rough performance along with worst reliability are main reason why none of premium and luxury brands and designs sare to reach for these cost savings as it would cost them lost customers. Audi tried and quickly abandoned it due to those reasons.
By disrigarding these facts you are cheating yourself and allow for Subbie to take advantage of you.
Instead of boycott that force Subbie to use Toyota's 8speed that would do great in car like Subbie.
Remember overheated or dead CVT means
NO Wheel Drive and AWD is all that Subbie has going for it.
