The only reason I can see for Toyota not putting the handle on the pillar is due to a possible risk. Is there a chance that adding the handle will imped the airbag? I removed the cover when I installed my phone mic, and I couldn't figure out how it all worked (but I didn't really care too much at that point). I know most people don't know the answer, just thought I would put it out there.

I understand there is a video on YouTube of the 4Runner air bag deployment.
The airbag on the passenger side is in the same location as the drivers side location. The handle locates in the same configuration but with a kit instead of the welded brackets from the TOYOTA factory. Do yourself a favor and pull both trim pieces off and take a look!
I stated before that I think it should have been a factory grip handle located there like the FJ Cruisers have.
