Thicker pillars are a cheap way to solve the problem.
You can also use different, stronger materials. But those are generally more expensive.
Subaru solves it with better engineering and using higher strength steels (and reinforcing the B-pillar with a boron reinforcement bar).
Making the pillars thick is just cost saving.
