WTH Icharger? Why won't an iCharger 308 discharge over 10.5-11.0 Amps?

Yes, the 308 will discharge at 11 amps without a resistor bank. If you want to go higher, then watch this video:

Because you did not read the manual?

The charger itself can only handle an amount of discharge power, by using an external resistor you can go higer.

Well that's interesting. It's been fine for a couple years, 20 amp cycles, no trouble...

Were you cycling a 1S battery when achieving 20 amps? (guess based on picture). Per the 80 watts internal discharge power rating 20A should be doable on a 1S. With a 2S pack it's limited to essentially half of the current it can do on a 1S. Need an external resistor setup as mentioned, or a regenerative setup with extra batteries, basically discharge on one port of the charger while charging on the other port.
