Doesn't explain why amphetamines are any less "bad" than cocaine.

Here is why: https://www.nature.com/articles/1300536.pdf?origin=ppub

In summary, whereas 10 mg/kg COC induced considerable individual variability in locomotor activation suggestive of two subpopulations, the variability observed with
AMPH (1, 0.5, and 5 mg/kg) was not as pronounced.

I'll summarize the entire article in a language everyone can understand:

"When we gave these here rats a bunch of cocaine, they all went nuts! Each one doing their own thing! And when we gave them the meth, they all went nuts too, but together!"

This is why we give soldiers amphetamines and not cocaine.
