I think it is surprising, and somewhat close minded to not have regen on the brake pedal - and even more so to not have default coasting.

Actually, not having default coasting compensates for not having regen on the brake pedal.
And does it really not bump up the regen when the brake switch gets activated (long before the pedal gets deep enough to actuate physical braking)?
My Insight does that... Why wouldn't Tesla?
Anyway... Plan ahead to not need (much) braking, if possible. True for almost any kind of vehicle.
