The archery mods usually don't make a headshot instant death. What they do is make a sneak attack headshot do as much or close to as much damage as a backstab. Since the player character rarely gets hit by sneak attacks (and can quite easily become critical hit immune with gear), it buffs the player more than the enemies.
But more than that it makes playing a stealthy sniper much more possible. In vanilla Skyrim, you're not going to one-shot-kill with archery except on weak human enemies. This is in stark contrast to Fallout New Vegas, where my sniper girl Courier can one-shot a Deathclaw at several hundred meters.
