Because allegedly those updates ALSO fixed the underlying software performance issues so the hardware wasn't taxed so hard.

That argument could possibly be made for iOS 12, but not for iOS 11.3.

You had to manually disable it. There was a little bit of wiggle room so maybe your iPhone faired better. But from personal experience on 11.3, if the battery capacity was below a certain amount the phone would just suddenly shut down on a fairly regular basis.
