Is Stock and Super Stock Performance Eliminators.?

can I ask a question ? As I dont have a dog in the fight but love watching from afar .
If St/SSt is a performance eliminator but noone seems to want to run all in due to going too fast - possible HP hit .
WHY do racers keep chasing more and more HP .
WHY do racers keep wanting more aftermarket items ? Apart from items no longer available .
WHY build a car that goes 1 or 1.5 etc under but never use it or only complain you cant use it ? Or complain if a racer does actually use it .
Really it seems the only time you can go mostly all in is heads up in class , rest of the time is dyo to lesser or more degree .
I bracket race , ET 10.00 - 12.99 , and the same happens here whether too fast ET or too fast for required safety gear .
It just seems like a contradiction .
