I’m tracking. Slower gasses=lower pressure wave exiting the can=less blast.
I think what we’re seeing with the newest suppressors is complex internal geometry resulting in a more gradual slowing of gasses through convoluted flow path, resulting in BOTH lower exit pressure AND lower backpressure into the system. More efficient slowing per suppressor volume resulting in less sound and less backpressure at the same time, all compared to more classic cone type baffle design.
You might be correct that increasing backpressure would also allow for increasing sound(pressure wave) suppression but It might not be quite so simple.
