Key limes are better than limes and it's not even close.

They are just different. There are certain things that need key lines, and certain things that need Persian limes.
Try making a proper mai tai with key lime, it is not great.
Try making a key lime pie with Persian lime.. just not the same.
Source: plenty of citrus trees on my property, go through a couple pounds of limes a week.

Naw - they're different. Limes have a different flavour better suited to some things.

I 100% agree, I bought them to make pies not too long ago and discovered how much better they are, it’s crazy that they’re half the size but when you juice them you get double the liquid.

That is not my experience - getting juice from key limes is an exercise in patience.
