If you’re one that blessed with a high threshold power and small high intensity energy store, the model will presume you’re not going to consume valuable carbs at very low intensities relative to your threshold power. Those with greater capacity and thus more power above threshold, by virtue of having that power, will rely more on carbs than those with smaller capacity. The model also doesn’t account for basal metabolism which may require considerable carbs. HTH
