The format mimics the raster one, if no scale is provided, all rules are
depicted, if it is,
only the ones active at the current scale are.

Am I misunderstanding part of its purpose?

Not really, but it could be you're misunderstanding the process... the
initial contribution of a functionality
is based on its sponsor requirements, rounded up with some community
discussion, see the proposal
that introduced it, it mentions explicitly the scales:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-173

If you're not happy with the current status quo, it's possible to
contribute a change or sponsor one,
possibly enabling the fuller reporting with a "legend_options" key:
https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wms/get_legend_graphic/index.html#controlling-legend-appearance-with-legend-options
