I mean it SHOULD, but that assumes "normal driving" in "normal conditions".
Now for the Landcruiser, Toyota probably increased these bounds a lot vs other vehicles (like old jeeps), but I suspect they didn't mean pedal to the floor for 5 miles while under significantly reduced vehicle speed.
Most people would assume that hills requiring full torque in 3rd gear to get up aren't 5 miles long, and they'd be right to assume that.
Those are very extreme/unusual circumstances, and it wouldn't make sense to design to the requirements of .1% of users vs slightly increasing mpg for 99.9% of users. So they go with the 99.9% option and assume that the .1% of users will just have to drop into 2nd and go slower (2nd gear with its 1.5:1 ratio requires only 2/3rd the engine torque to achieve the same wheel torque). BUT, if it can be made to work even in those extreme circumstances, then why not do it for those who need it?
Toyota already showed us that thicker silicone oil is a valid method to improve cooling system performance with the supra.
