Because LocationManager supports an arbitrary number of location
technologies, and those location technologies may use the minimum time
in different ways. This is a common approach with abstraction

You are welcome to read the source code to examine the current
behavior. Just bear in mind that this behavior may be different than
with past versions, may be different in future versions, may be
different with manufacturer-specific location technologies, etc.
