But basically I am surprised at how the customer is not the focus in this process. I'm spending my time trying to understand each dealers inventory in my area and hope I get lucky. So far no luck.

This would be be typical Toyota. The last thing the dealer wants and Toyota wants is to send the the dealer the allotment of Sequioas as well as a additional build to order model.
This is a smart move on Toyota's part. Now I can understand a customer wanting to be able to order the model but Toyota's goal is to sell the vehicles that are in inventory and not the ones that are not yet built.
In Canada, most dealers will not let you test drive a Platinum unless you are very serious about buying the model.
