It's just way more expensive than Kluger or even Acadia which are both three row.
IMO, Ford's plate clearance prices are more in line with where regular prices should be,
the moment buyers see those vehicles that are $6K-$8K dearer than other vehicles,
they're off the list no matter how good they may be. This is where zero km demos come in....

When you bring new product to market, setting a price point is driven by a lot of things, and where it ranks on vfacts data is likely not near the top of the list. They don't care how many people discuss it on a forum.
Also, once they set a price, it can only go one direction, and it's very rarely up. No doubt they'll see how it goes for a while and then gauge whether or not it is meeting internal targets and if not, whether to value add or drop the price.
They would have a minimum price they need to sell for to make it worth their while putting them on the boat. If they can't sell them for that figure, Australia just misses out. They won't give them away.
We are little island with very little demand for product in the big scheme of things.
