Who said high pressure is only for return less?
The Focus SVT and GT40 are return less systems, just like the Speed6. The pump only runs as it's needed, when it's needed.
The Walbro pump ran in a return less system actually runs at a lesser output because of the signal being sent to it. The Focus SVT pump flows more fuel in it's designed system.
If you put on a pump designed for fuel return systems, on a return less system, the pump continues running at it max output and will end up failing prematurely.

You said it was high pressure for a returnless system when you stated the setup for a SVT focus.
Now, you may want to recant your last statement about a high pressure pump being used on a non returnless system. I have outlined that ive been running SVT Focus pumps ( 2 to be exact, intank and split with a Y ) for 3 years in my Lightning. I have monitored the output on my truck via autotap software and my pumps are not running 100% all the time, causing them to burn out. The duty cycle is increased via the ECU when needed, even on a return fuel system. I went with these pumps to increase the volume via pressure. Maybe this is different on other makes, but as far as Fords go, this is how it works.
As far as your chart goes, the Lightning and Cobras use the same dual fuel system... Why the pressure in these charts are different makes no sense. The lightning uses larger injectors and the entire system flows more fuel than a Cobra. Are these Kenne Bell boost-a-pump figures?
