It isn’t. Why should I pay the same fines while driving my lamborghini with fresh brakes and tires as the poor people speeding in their deathboxes? My car probably has half the braking distance of theirs.

You shouldn't get an advantage on breaking the rules just because you were doing it in a way that is safer. Break rule, get consequence.

Besides, others on the road don't care about how good your brakes are. They just care about what to expect and someone speeding by is not what they expect. And its not like the brakes are gonna help you much if you make a mistake. If anything the extra feeling of safety is gonna make you drive more riskily.
