That wouldnt be viable. Too many would experience that

variable, so they would be demanding it get fixed in the
warranty period causing a big hike in warranty claims.

They couldnt even have a note in the maintenance
manuals saying that variable performance should be
ignored because they couldnt say why that happens
and is nothing to worry about.

I could see that it might be possible to run in clean mode by default at
idle and low throttle openings, and alter it when the pedal if pressed-
after all, this is largely a modulation of the EGR valve, which happens
all the time anyway as part of the normal map.
