Manufactures purposely make simple tasks more difficult because it pads their bottom line. If you were able to do this on your own you would save, easily north of $500 USD, that's a loss of revenue for the dealership/company.
Besides if you have the cash to lease/buy one of these, then maintenance is should not be an issue. That being said, cars in which you can work on, on your own, with low to moderate levels of difficulty cannot be beat.

Devil's advocate, but where else would you place it? Between styling, low hoodline, all the 'stuff' around a current engine, the pedestrian safety hood crush space requirements, size of the air filter for that engine, there are not many options.
It is basically a CAI-just put the filter up front on the inlet. If you can afford the car…
Bit larger then a CAI, plus the plenum. I would guess that having to maintain an open area beneath the hood at the front was a factor.
OMG. Why?
That's just stupid. I wonder what the air filter costs....
I wonder how much the labor is.
Well, it probably flows the same CFM as a cone, just slightly better filtration!
