If I'm paying Tom's prices for a part, it had better say "Tom's" all over that thing.

Better question- who cares about a strut bar for a car that doesn't even have struts.

Since it's purely a show item I guess some folks want a logo to point at.

I think the TOMS logo that someboy was refering to was from the TOM'S prius thread from a US dealership that slapped the TOMS logo on every part of the car, (Except the front where it comes like that from TOMS)
