For those who may still watching this thread...
The Bronco Nation folks talked to their Ford contacts and have confirmed that the pricing as it appears on Build & Price is the real pricing for the manual transmission with the Sasquatch package.
I have also talked to my dealer's sales manager in regards to the Mansquatch pricing, and he has also confirmed separately with his dealer rep that the pricing is accurate. He shared in my frustration, as he too had planned on getting the Sasquatch package for his personal Big Bend.
Ford's official stance is that the Sasquatch package pricing has not increased since 2021 because the Sasquatch package always included the automatic transmission. Obviously that means us manual transmission folks get forced to draw the short straw and effectively have to pay for an automatic transmission we are not getting.
Sucks, but unless Ford has a chance of heart... it is what it is.
I don't consider myself the ultimately authority on this sorta stuff, but my personal recommendations remains the same as they were on the first post for manual transmission users:

- Base 2-door Mansquatch orders are pricey, but it still kind of makes sense considering the standard Base 2-door is lacking most of the important off-road features.
- Big Bend and Black Diamond Mansquatch orders should just upgrade to Badlands w/o Sasquatch. Better bang-for-your-buck.
- Badlands Mansquatch is overpriced by around $1000-$2000, but may be worth it if you really care about recieving it ready-to-go from the factory. Up to you.
