It can only do that if the controlling element is in the differential.
Otherwise all the torque is still going to the wheel, but the brakes
are stopping the wheel from rotating too fast, which means those brakes
are absorbing the power, which is thus not (purposely it seems)
available at the road surface.


You clearly *don't* understand how a (non-locking) differential works.
