Redlining it several times a week might explain why the UOA isn't so stellar compared to the universal averages.
Well the engine is not broken in and also there are 8,250 mile on oil fill.
Contrary. The first UOA I ever had done on a vehicle using the Napa test kit, did include a note from the lab tech.

Yes you are right. Mine has that little note too. It's just rather mundane. The Blackstone notes are a little more chipper and detailed.
Having owned a Crosstrek a few years ago, redlining it will get you to 60 in about 9.5 seconds. Or allow you to go 60 up a mountain pass. That car always felt so underpowered. Always wondered why they didn't turbo it or throw the 2.5 in it. Now just saw that's an option.Pretty impressive. The FB 20 uses zero oil in spite of the fact that I redline it several times/week. Did that since it had a couple hundred miles on it.
I recently had a 2021 Crosstrek 2.5L for a day as a loaner vehicle and boy it was the most enjoyable Subaru I have ever driven without a turbo. They should just cancel the NA 2.0L engine and use the NA 2.5L in its place in every applicable vehicle.
