elona vanilla is also a chaotic asynchronous mix of tech levels, it's not really a fault or introduction of plus. though plus certainly adds more of it
I wouldn't say it's a japan thing either
regardless, the chaos of elona is a charm point. it all plays itself straight, too, so it all just feels like it fits

honestly I think it's fine for mod content to outperform base game. mods aren't for first playthroughs, they're for continuing to play the same game but with new options and more content. if seven league boots were still optimal then you'd just end up using them again even though the mod adds all this other stuff
if you've only ever played plus it might seem strange or forced, but there's reasons why
also being able to just buy a truck instead of having to wish for seven league boots gives you another avenue towards moving faster than a snail's pace
also fuck yeah I want to get in the f150 with my anime girl harem and slam that bitch across the countryside that's sick as hell
