My question is, why doesn't every single stock 216/235/261 suffer from hard warm starting?

Everyone I have owned liked an open throttle during hot restart ( two foot technique left foot on the gas)
The easy answer is there are many variables like:
Fuel quality and kind
Under hood temperature ( Air movement)
Engine running temperature ( thermostat)
Manifold temperature ( heat riser)
Carb temperature ( insulator)
Fuel temperature
Float level. ( tweak the level lower helps)
Needle and seat condition
Fuel pressure and fuel pump type
Driving style. (City vs highway)
Ambient temperature
Altitude
Engine condition ( worn vs fresh rebuild)
Battery condition and cranking speed
Hot start........Starting technique
Even the last years of carbs before FI became the standard they used solenoids to block the jets with key off. This was to stop flooding and engine run on during hot operation. Even the Briggs on the lawn tractor had these solenoids.
