On a track maybe but in the real world having good usable power throughout the rev range can make for quicker car than one which only has power from 6k !
If you're happy to be constantly changing up & down, & drawing attention by your max revs & generally sounding like a loon

then thats good for you, but not for everyone.
I've personally never really got on with 'all or nothing' engines, i only have my 172 as i bought it for a good price from a mate &, as an everyday hatch it does everything ok (especially corners) but it's all too much hard work trying to go quick
