The same logic would also dictate that every ICE vehicle produced today is artificially slower because of its electronic traction controls and detuned engine computers; when actually having that unrestrained power would lead to pretty dangerous scenarios requiring a high level of driving skill that the 90% of us do not have. Turn off all stability controls on a vehicle nearing 300 HP and go wide-open-throttle, and you'll find yourself sideways in no time.

This type of power curve would also lead to increased wear on a some pretty expensive drivetrain components, so either the manufacturer has to greatly increase vehicle cost to cover for more resilient parts, or sell something that will tank the public's perception of the reliability of their brand.

Aftermarket pure software tunes can unlock some ridiculous amounts of horsepower and torque on modern cars, but expect your axles, brakes, suspension, or transmission components to need replacement much more frequently.
