Ah! I hadn't considered the idea that the "Throttle Position" feedback coming over OBD-II was faked. In that case, it does explain a lot of my misunderstanding, and it also means that this "throttle map" is really more about some aspect of VVEL's operation rather than the butterflies. I'm almost tempted to put a bullet camera in my intake tubes so I can watch the real throttle and confirm it myself.

Anyways, I like my smoothed version to drive on still, even if it's just based on math and a total lack of understanding
