As long as even some teams are carried, this gap will always exist. Every first pick* by the top seed is one of the top 3 robots at the event; but not every alliance captain is. Maybe that is offset by non-carried captains who declined from a low seed and won the event, I dunno.
*2014 is an exception to all of this because picks were very role based.
