You understood the question right, simply put MacOS is meant to optimize battery life and use but there's some alternatives (like those mentioned) that aim to do better.
Think about "Photos" and "Mail": there's an option built in but some alternatives exists and they are better for that matter in my opinion.
Oh ok, that makes sense. I never looked too closely at the built-in setting, but I just checked and see that it’s dynamic and not something you can set a hard limit on.
