You are skipping over the fact that the chart is highly misleading.

In terms of APM, yes, which is what this FAQ addressed:

> AlphaStar has built-in restrictions, which cap its effective actions per minute and per second. These caps, including the agents’ peak APM, are more restrictive than DeepMind’s demonstration matches back in January, and have been applied in consultation with pro players.

So yeah, they've tweaked this specifically, although not much details as to how.
