I'm still not quite sure how a wider gamut can have such a disparity in lightness. If we attempt a very magenta  color in display-p3 and crank up the lightness until we are around 90% (with no gamut mapping required), we get a pale color, because it is so bright!

So how does 90% lightness look so much lower here in a wider gamut? Are we sure we aren't comparing something that is producing colors not quite right? I'm not arguing tone, but the lightness looks really, really wrong, but the claim here is that it should be matched. This is a serious question because it doesn't seem like it is adding up. Perceptually, that doesn't look like 90% lightness.
