Try going a little higher, like to Pike's Peak, 14,110. You will find
a noticeable drop off in power.


But the engine will still be automatically optimized for peak power,
whereas an aircraft engine will not. I think that's the point.

Also, human beings tend to start losing power at 14,000 feet, too.
