You are totally right.

A more efficient and lighter drive train will reduce the amount of power lost.

The problem is that other than flywheel / Pulleys and some other stuff there is not much you can do within a budget. The HP / $$$ ratio just doesn't justify those kind of mods. That's why people will try to make more power ( Forced induction) other than figure out ways to loose less power.

Is cheaper to make power than to avoid losses.

F1 and other race cars are exceptions....
