Not sure if this is the same but I was thinking along the lines of % of maximum force an athlete can produce. Whatever time an athlete has to express this force, isn’t it still a function of % maximum effort? If an athlete can bench 100lbs, shouldn’t the focus be on getting them to 150 or 200, as opposed to getting them to express their low level of strength faster?

That comes under the heading of CNS competition. Staying farther to the right- where, in this case, there is so much to do before any sort of reasonable limit is reached, allows more to the left of the F/T curve to be devoted to other more needed power activities.
