Yes, but essentially the BRZ and the GT86 are the same car minus a few cosmetic changes. The Zeta platform has everything from coupes to wagons, so the platform is tuned to try and fit all in one, which is good since it makes money. However, for the car itself, a platform of its own would definitely give it a big change.
But yes, at the end sales are the main thing. So while the FR-S (BRZ) took advantage of having its own platform, it is not exactly a money maker for Toyota/Subaru. But you can't deny that the FR-S is a great car because of its specific platform.

Also ... look at the sales of the BRZ/FR-S/(GT)86 vs Camaro and tell me again how successful its been.
