It probably would have been a worse car if Toyota made it. It would have cost a lot more for similar performance because Toyota can't/won't build anything that's not profitable. Look how expensive the GR Corolla is for what's a $20k Corolla with an open deck 3 cylinder engine with no forged parts and the only part on it special is the ball bearing turbocharger. The AWD system is cheap system used by the old Matrix/Vibe that wasn't intended for sports car usage hence all the overheating issues. They certainly wouldn't be able to get away with that kind of cost cutting on a Supra and the reality is that if Toyota built their own Supra it would be a six figure car that likely wouldn't outperform the current Supra. I think people should be happy that the current Supra exists as it's a great performing car that look like a proper sports car.
