Makes perfect sense to me.
From standstill the near 300 lb ft of torque will still light up the front tyres, but on the roll the car will have far far better traction with the diff when max torque is applied, vastly reducing the amount of brake pinching or power cutting traction control intervention when accelerating with any steering lock applied at low to medium speeds. It’ll reduce understeer loads too.
