I was with you until you said ^^^^^. That's not true at all.
You have to look no further than the new NHRA ProStock class to see that's not true.
These are some of the most sophisticated engines in the world. 5 HP can make the difference between making the field and putting your car back on the trailer.
Last year they were all carbureted. This year NHRA mandated they go EFI and no hood scoop. Same cubic inch, same bore, same stroke.
The cars lost a lot of HP. This shows that the EFI did nothing for power gain and the air intake made the engine lose a bunch of power.
Pretty amazing that the lowly carb that was invented over 100 years ago can not only compete with modern EFI but beat it power wise in a modern engine.
With no ram induction you can't get as much air into it so you can't burn as much fuel. Doesn't matter if it is injected or carbureted.
Modern EFI production engines make a lot more power than the old carbureted engines. DI engines, even more.
