On the other hand, pull through setups (like factory turbo cars) generally lead to cars stalling out. I suppose a good tuner can fix these issues, but speed density becomes easier with big boost, especially for end users.
I really wish the thread that shiv participated in wasn't deleted because he put it way more eloquently than I can but his assertion was that MAF works just fine for boosted applications, it's just that tuners are used to tuning with MAP so that's what they do.
