How is this different from riding a bicycle with only one foot fully utilized?

However, when you're out of your seat you're mostly pushing the pedal down, and the only reason people think it's bad to be out of your seat is because you wear your muscles out. But in a 30 second race you don't have to worry about muscle fatigue the way you do in a race that's several miles long.

Thats not why. Standing up to pedal hard is a novice bike rider mistake. It feels like you are getting more power to the pedals faster, but its not true. You lose tons of power to the side to side swaying which could be applied to make the pedals spin faster.
