Because Gotenks' words were not a good source of information. Gotenks had believed that even his base form could defeat Buu. That's why Piccolo wanted to see him in action.
That's not the point. If power is of concern, then Piccolo can ask him to show that, not speed.

Piccolo did not ask for anything specific. He just went like, 'Show me what you can do.'

Chapter: 482 (DBZ 288), P7.2-3
Context: after Super Saiyan Gotenks forms for the first time
Piccolo: “…Yeah…Your ki really is absolutely incredible, but how about your movement?...Show me a little.”
Gotenks: “Is that alright? If I show you here, the house might break. I’ll do it on the ground.”

Even if you trynna go with Viz, Piccolo flat out confirms Gotenks is as strong as he should be there.

No, it was merely stated that Gotenks powered up from training. The Fusion multiplier shit is just headcanon. Since the Fusion formula would naturally be something like (A+B) x Fusion/Potara boost, any gains experienced by the two halves would be amplified upon fusing.
Considering Goten and Trunks have gotten way minor improvements, it's possible that the fusion boost increased post the RoSaT training.

Possible rivalry boost? Goten seemed fired up to train because of his mother's death so perhaps Trunks didn't want to fall behind him. They said that Goten and Trunks' fusion dance was already perfect when they fused into SSJ Gotenks so I don't think it's because of them getting better at the dance.

Yeah makes sense. I don't think they perfected it further either. I used to think that training as Gotenks increased the Gotenks' entity power while the individuals didn't change that much.

I doubt AT thought of the rivalry boost at this point though, seems like something he thought up to explain Vegetto's strength

Goten and Trunks didn't massively increase their power, but they did massively increase Gotenks' power. He would say that Gotenks (Pre) was an almost perfect fusion. While the fusion of Gotenks (Post Rosat) was perfect, since he had the ability to go from the Base state to the SSJ and even had techniques such as the Kamikaze and also managed to transform into SSJ3

He asked about Gotenks's speed. That is being specific. Do you have some Hebrew translation, my brudda?

I remember there was this debater on F that made very big posts explaining why Gotenks pre RoSaT wasn't all that and was likely < Fat Boo. I think he danced around the situation way too much but gotta give him creativity credits for writing so much when the situation seems kind of cut and dry.
