If this was true racing bikes would not exist.
The entire concept of this is flawed and is misrepresented.
Using this picture one could claim that everyone wants to be average.
Your bias, your agenda is not the reality, but just one side of the reality.
They want a comfortable bike that delivers for years without any issue, not an uncomfortable bike designed for speed only. A bike whose chain oil cannot stain their pants. A bike that has transporting options for the stuff they need to bring with them. And most importantly. A bike that doesn't make them look like assholes.
Yes, they are better especially for long travels on high roads, faster and more stable driving so you get less tired and you're less likely to get yourself killed for passing the grannies ahead. Modern sports cars has most of the comfort options SUVs has, the only real advantage of SUVs are for the big families.
