I was thinking, this sounds very much like a person with a vested interest in getting you to do more research.

Which is literally all advisors. Once you have an advisor, grades don't really matter that much except that you need to pass the class.

This likely varies from department to department. If grades truly didn’t matter, it’s simpler for professors to adopt a lenient curve.

If they do not make the grading lenient - it’s for a reason.
