That’s correct, there are some respected engineering channels that specifically mention this is why different models of the same EV require different charging behavior per the manufacturer’s manual. The battery compositions are different and have different densities and characteristics.

Edit: although it’s possible some models could share the exact same battery model and have some software restriction in place.
