You are looking at this from the position of a reloader. Back when it was still factory ammo the +P meant that it was loaded to +P pressures. That way when Joe buys a box of 45acp +P ammo, loads up his magazines, throws away the box, dies and his son, Joe Jr., inherits the gun and the ammo he knows that those are +P rounds.
But yeah, after the ammo is shot the headstamp means decidedly less.
