While you are racing their Ghosts, you aren't racing with their settings or devices. It is possible they are using emulators and wheel and pedal set-ups. Maybe they have sensitivity set differently, or are running Tilt A. Maybe they are simply younger than you are and have better reflexes. No amount of practice will completely overcome genetics.

There could also be a psychological component to it. For me personally, I know that when I fall behind a ghost, I will often push beyond the limit, making me slower not faster. Also, if you are leading a ghost and the then pass you, the first thought is "What the .... did I do wrong this time?!" and you lose the focus and concentration on the task at hand, and that wrecks any hopes at a decent time for that lap.

I think this is the progression they probably went through.

It takes a huge amount of discipline not to accelerate too long, brake too late, accelerate too soon. I don't have it. Once you get it though, the line just takes care of itself... That is until Apple and FM team up to F - over the Gyroscopes. 🤬
