I got the point, but I don't care,
I use high view distance, giant meshes from X and Y creators, I build large things and make screenshots and videos and I don't like then they look like crap as soon I unzoom to watch a whole sim or a 1/4 of sim, so my render LOD is set to 7.5 all the time and that's all, I don't care about "next" meshes build in 6 months with good LOD, I can fix it right now in my viewer without affecting anyone else so I keep it that way and i'll keep it that way.
