But why would you bother when it's simple to just turn off the ignition?
Surely the important thing is to get the car to a standstill as safely as

Yes, it is important to get the car to a standstill as safely as
possible. Why would you increase your workload to do something unusual
in a moment of stress instead of doing something routine?

Working out that turning off the engine if the throttle has suck open
increases your work load?

And it's certainly not natural to apply the brakes while the engine is
pulling hard. Unless a rally driver, etc.
