If the gas pedal has a big impact on your cars anti squat, your car is not as consistent as it can be and is very dependent on the driver to be perfect. People put pullbars on modifieds because people have always put pullbars on modifieds. Not all do it anymore, but there are still a lot of them. It's no different than when I was told I was an idiot for advising people to not mount their brakes on their birdcages. Since Bloomquist did it successfully, it had to be a perfect setup. Success is often achieved by talent and in spite of some part of a car's assembly. Eventually, someone who is fast enough does it the right way and the crowd follows. 99% of the people have no idea why they changed, they just do it.
