This is just one of those suspicions I have had for many years and done nothing to verify, but I think part of it is probably that everyone sits too far back from the pedals. I have my seat adjusted so that with my back and butt against the back of my seat (so I’m braced against something) I can push the brake pedal and have it hit the bottom of travel just a bit before my knee locks without having to take my heel off the floor and try and press it with my toes or something. My wife is almost a half foot shorter than me and when I drive her car I don’t need to adjust the seat at all. I find a similar situation driving most people’s cars. So, y’know, I think people literally can’t apply the brakes all the way… because they can’t reach the bottom of the pedal travel.
