Why is the recommended brushing time the same regardless of the type of toothbrush?

My 10 year old basically asked me this when I replaced his manual toothbrush with an electric one, and I had no answer. If a powered toothbrush does more brushes per second than a manual one then shouldn’t you have to bush your teeth for less time? Or if 2 minutes is recommended for the electric one then shouldn’t you need more time with a manual?
