With electronic throttle control, the response no longer had to be linear and manufacturers seem to make them “laggy” - maybe to encourage better fuel economy? So you press the pedal down 30%, it only opens the throttle 15% (for example). 50% = 35%. Etc. So the throttle controller lets you get back to a more linear feel without the lag and the car “feels” more responsive. It’s not really that it is more responsive but rather you have better control of the response.

Beautifully written!
Because of the linearity you described, I bought this controller.
Time will tell whether I am satisfied or not.
But I want to try it and form my own opinion.
