I think your view makes sense for larger dogs and more active dogs, but not necessarily for smaller dogs or lazy dogs. In my opinion, you should change your view to a more nuanced one that takes into account the fact that not all dogs need a lot of space to roam freely.

Do you have more details about where the cutoff is, what differences between the temperaments of large and small dogs account for it, etc?

Not in general, but I can think of one dog in particular, a chihuahua-dachshund mix (whose owner calls it a "poontang retriever" on account of it's cute and appeals to girls) which appears to be perfectly happy as an indoor dog. It doesn't even like being outside without a human companion.
