Perhaps I'm missing something, but if, for example, you use the
'initials' style, then "lch" can complete to list-command-history, but
if you don't use 'initials', it will complete to nothing.  So maybe
you are right from the implementation POV, but the list of the
candidates shown to the user is in fact determined by the style.  And
that displayed list is what matters for discovery; that Emacs
internally had some other list is immaterial.

It matters because the completion table is determined by the command in use, and the completion style is based on user customization.

As such, completion styles don't usually use any semantic information about completions.
