Because the computer controls the throttle NOT the pedal. It's a request system, you ask for 3% power from the gas pedal, and you get what you get from the car, say 1% to 5%.

In theory, on my F250, I can get 100% rated hp at idle to prevent stalling. Handy teaching my kids how to drive a manual. On the Golf, no such system which is a PITA.
