What I'm trying to say is that generally not explicitly, most MTB shoes are softer because they are designed to enable comfortable walking / hiking. However, you are right that some MTB (race / enduro) shoes are very stiff.
There are also cheap / low quality road shoes that are as soft as a wet turd.

Not really, some MTB shoes are basically road shoes that have extra rubber bit and 2 bolts;
