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.

Well, the majority of people probably don't care about the current spec as long as it works without overheating when geared reasonably in the vehicle it was meant. And trying to rate them to match other companies' overzealous methods is just bring you down to their level.
