How does a throttle controller/pedal commander not reduce 0-60 time?

I simply don’t understand how if the throttle is more sensitive and the car accelerates quicker, the 0-60 time remains the same.

No matter what the curve linking throttle pedal position to how much of the engine’s power you want, the maximum power doesn’t change.

You can make the car feel more responsive by making a small variation in pedal position open up more of the engine so you feel like there is more power, but all the car is doing is opening the throttle 50% even though you only pressed the pedal down 25%, this makes you feel like the car is more powerful than it is, but if you just floor it (like when you’re testing 0-60 time) then engine power will go to 100% in either case and theres no difference in the performance
