The main problem is toasters generally toast the bread for a set (adjustable) time. When you toast the first slices the toaster starts cold, but when you toast more slices right after the toaster starts hot so the slices get toasted more.

If only there was some sort of “sensor for temperature” so the toaster could adjust the time with its temperature.

I think bigger problems is the moisture content of the bread itself.

Unless your bread is fresh out of the pack, depending on where you brought it from either refrigerator or rack, it's moisture content is going to vary changing your toasting time.
