Already mentioned in this thread. MAF has nothing to do with the AFR or fueling, it's a cross reference for load/boost.

The problem with threads like this is without experienced people participating you tend to get consumed by baloney. For example I read somewhere a particular tune is "64 bit" and this same company claimed the JB4 was "8 bit". The implication that it was more smooth and powerful because the processor is "more powerful". Of course when you dig in to the details you find both tunes run the analog inputs and outputs at 10bit and the JB4 is only using about half of its processing power even offering much more than any other tune does. And the tune they claim is higher powered, can't even run CANbus, EWG, fuel control, data logging, exhaust valve, etc, etc. So marketing claims like that are one of those devil is in the details things that someone technical is needed for to analyze. And this person really should be unbiased (if even possible) / third party.

The chart is a great idea and helpful even in its current form but it still requires research on the part of end user to filter out certain aspects and compare different aspects.
