in other words, yes due to leverage the brakes are always stronger from drops
but no one usually needs that power and braking from hoods is adequate
in fact people are so accustomed to the hoods, that any attempt at braking from drops makes them endo

modern brifter design further endorses this paradigm with ergonomic hoods and levers that prioritize the hoods

haven't bought into it myself yet
my only brifter bike has them on mustache bars
my only dropbar bike is a mtb with dirt drops
no hoods, always grabbing from the tips of brake levers
