There are subtle differences/changes/upgrades. One i recall reading about is the steering rack rod was changed from aluminum to steel in '09.
It takes some dedicated Googling and reading to discover al the subtle differences/upgrades.

Other than 5 years of age, mostly cosmetic.

On the manuals, the synchros in the transmission were beefed up somewhere late in the 2011 model year of production.

2012+ has, in my opinion, the nicer steering wheel and the aforementioned seats.

I think there were also power steering adjustments made between 08 and 09 but not entirely sure. Something about the sensitivity and ratios were changed.

There are more differences but I can't think of anymore between equally optioned cars right now.

The question prompts a question for an answer to the question 🤔... Why has a design type employee from GM Corvette refuse to answer or... even show up around here?.... Ever.

You mean other than their chief engineer? https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...er-thread.html And I recall some responses from a GM rep in the earlier posts on the C6 forum.
