In the arena of car racing for which we have designed controllers, both brush and sensored brushless, I have never seen, (or read about on forums), any interest in current rating specs.
If anything, about the only spec racers have ever been particularly interested in is on resistance. I'm just speculating here, but maybe these current rating specs have been valued and emphasized more in controllers for air models or non sensored controllers. Especially a few years ago, when European/Asian esc mfgs started re-purposing their airplane controllers for surface vehicles.
Personally, I would be just as content if we deleted all these numbers in our esc spec chart. If the rated/braking current numbers were once meaningful, they no longer are. Years ago, when we began listing only the MOSFET stats, it was because our engineers could never figure out how other companies' garbage ratings were measured; so we selected this alternative method.
