I don't think a petition will change anything any time soon, but, perhaps over time they'll make the change. I think it is sad because the lift gate is the only thing I really need/want out of an over priced (IMO) luxury package. The ambient lights are nice, but not necessary, the turn lights are great, but can survive without. The fog lamps are eye candy only, the head liner is pretty, but not at $5000. But the lift gate gets used almost every day...very convenient to be able to pop it open when my kid is approaching with full hands, or to remotely shut it when they get their stuff and are walking away. I can live without it, and will before paying $5000 for the option, but agree it should be part of some more reasonablely priced option OR there should be something more in the luxury package to add value there (Tesla "T" puddle lights and HUD maybe?).
