Do I understand correctly?

You understand correctly I was just rambling.

Good point, I wasn't thinking of massive libraries on the device.
My custom category example was a substitute for the All by Authors since that presents the books within an author in a jumble (by title is ugly) instead of keeping their series ordered within each author. That list I wanted the option to fling.
I guess I'm just used to the main calibre list that allows me this view. Your right there needs to be either a limit or and option, possibly per group. Maybe have what you have now as the default with a toggle to change to an optional flingable view.
I'm importing all my 768 books to Moon+ to see how awkward a long list might be.
I tried to get the Sony tweaks to work with the All by author but those tweaks don't seem to work for the smart device plugin.
Update: I tried 768 books in Moon+ and the flingable list is extremely usable.
