It is not a closed-loop system, so the car doesn't read the AFR with the O2 sensor and adjust. It just uses the MAF table and the Injector Flow Rate table.
So if your MAF values at the higher MAF frequencies are too high, it'll make the car think more air is flowing in, giving you more fuel than you really needed.
Thats why the first part of WB tuning is to adjust your MAF table so that in PE Mode your WB measured AFR matches your commanded AFR.
Once you adjust the MAF so that it's got the right air flow values for the upper frequences, then you'll be able to adjust your WOT by adjusting the commanded AFR.
