The engines have more power. When you add power to any aircraft the nose goes up.

How many aircraft have had the original 'engines' replaced with more powerful 'engines' throughout history ????

Do pilots simply jam the pedal to the metal during takeoff , or do they use the proper amount of 'thrust' to achieve takeoff ?

My training on SEL was full throttle on take off. Balls to the walls. That is the whole point of powered flight. Why hold back on TO?

Full power is always used during take off. The sooner you get altitude the safer you are if something goes wrong.
