Protective coat on bumper standard?

Just noticed that my front bumper and rear bumper has a protective film on it. Is this standard from factory? Was considering getting xpel or something similar but maybe I don't need to now

They are saying it's from the factory but seems like they are not being 100% transparent, not sure if this was someone's allocation which they decided not to keep ...

Or maybe this is a new option from factory? Does anyone else have this? It's not noticeable until I opened the hood.

I also see phantom footprint stickers under the hood panel and trunk panel

Also, a permaplate sticker on driver's window. Might not mean it's actually on the car but can't tell.

I didn't pay for any of these when they tried to sell at closing.
