And finally, the low curb weight means that adding a second passenger is more noticeable than in other cars. A 170lb friend is adding 10+% weight for the motor to hustle around. It goes from pretty quick to only quick with a friend riding along.

This is a point of hilarity in my MR2. The probably 90hp at the wheels is "adequate" for just me, add wife or friend and it's just downright slowballs.

I recently got a little Fiat x19 and it has rear boot, engine bay and frunk release mechanisms in the cabin, although the engine and rear boot release is in the passenger side door jamb (because changing that between standard LHD and RHD would have actually required some effort.) so it's less convenient than if it were just conventional locks.

That is inconvenient. My aw11 has a gas door and boot release by the driver's door sill, engine release sorta behind the driver's seat, and frunk release in the typical bonnet location.
