It's not "common" at all for US cars to have a lesser model. I can think of 1 popular model off the top of my head.
No it is pretty common, especially when it comes to safety features.
The EU has stricter requirements especially stuff like lights, and you see European models often fitted with extra lights to comply with the regulations.
Technology connections has an old video on this regarding brake lights and turn signals at least https://youtu.be/O1lZ9n2bxWA?si=h5I-5_BMLoFEoj1k
