Most EV motors are fairly flat, but as you mention, they use software to further flatten in. Reality is; the torque curve is nearly perfectly flat.

That’s contrary to electric motor theory and to the dyno test that I linked above. The power curve is much flatter than the torque curve.

Not sure what your point there is? EVs are still fixed-gear ratio and provide maximum torque over the entire range. The graph you linked just shows that?
