And in addition, if its so good, why isnt teflon used in high performance oils as they come from the factory?
Mazda DOES apply teflon powder to new rotor housings since 1986 so that it can imbed into the micropores of the chrome and re-emerge if an an elevated temperature event melts it back out.
I do not believe there is any benifit to the stock teflon impregnation in normal use from what I have read, but if you have frictional heats from running low on injected oil or the EGTs get too high it will slow the unusual wear from these events.

A few years back Citco sold a new aircraft engine oil. It had not enough zink, and hundreds of engines had to be overhauled when the cam lobes started to wipe away.
So if, between oil changes, we can dump in some fresh anti-acid compounds, and some more zink compounds without dumping all of the oil, why not do it? Its done in aircraft. Its done in big trucks and off the road equipment.
So there is a place for between change additive packages.

In some applications there is a place for the replenishment of these addatives but it must be done very carefully as the EP addatives (ZDDP and MoS) can do more damage if there is too much there than if there is none at all
allthough the PTFE in this addative is pretty inert so should cause any damage like the more common EP addatives and friction modifiyers

Does this product contain any chlorine or chlorinated ingrediants?
No, there are no detergents, just a wetable teflon that absorbs oil.

Teflon needs to be heated , treated in an application method. Teflon particles are not held in suspension and eventually filter out.
Didnt AJ Foyt do Prolube commercials?
I am skepticle of all the additives until a product makes lab test reviewed and accepted by SAE and chemical engineers.
Many additives have meet SAE by their oil base/ carrier but not proof of claims.
