    Better than the other trash wipers I've had be it from the company or the parts store.

    So that to me is worth the price.

    Of course, Toyota does not MAKE wiper blades; they buy them from one of those manufacturers you see on the shelf at your local parts store for double the price. And they will change suppliers periodically, just like they change tire providers. So, while your idea works TODAY from the Toyota dealer near YOU with the BATCH they currently have, YMMV...

    I own a couple Subarus. The first time I bought replacement wipers from them (my 2019 Impreza uses an odd connector that it shares only with BMW), they were great. The next time, they sucked. By the time I needed a third, Bosch had finally offered an adapter, and while expensive, those did last more than a year (note; most wipers don't last even 6 months).

    Two things that really affect wiper pliability are age and storage. Two year old blades have already hardened. Blades stored in a hot warehouse all summer have dried out. Both make for crappy wipers.
