I'm guessing they calibrate the oil change intervals from the factory according to really cheap conventional dino with a factor of safety included. With a top tier synthetic, you can probably double what the oil life monitor says.
Mine usually starts telling me to change it around 5500, but I have run it up to right under 8000 with no noticeable differences in the oil coming out. Having said that, filters are also a major consideration when extending oil change intervals

I’ve actually measured mine and the life gets below 10% right around 10k miles. Maybe my software is newer than yours or maybe it actually uses engine data to calculate the oil quality. But I wrote down the mileage I reset it at 100% and then checked when it was at 10% and it was right below 10k.
