The dragster folks might disagree.

I'm curious why you think that the number of gears is significant. My Crossfire has 6 - does that make it "better" than a Nascar COT? How about the cars with CVT (effectively infinite) - are they "better" than F1?

CVT is banned from F1, IIRC. Performance would definitely improve given CVTs.

Nonetheless, you're correct. It's just different. Each just has different requirements.
