proof of freedom from immigration time restrictions

At the end of my partially completed application's saved pdf, one of the required Documents I need to submit is "Mr xxx xxxx's proof of freedom from immigration time restrictions".

In the Home Office's guidance booklet, they state the following:
immigration time restrictions
You can show that you have been free from immigration time restrictions for 12 months using both EUSS status, and any time before that when you held permanent residence under the EEA Regulations if needed. If ... residence. Or you may choose to wait until 12 months after you were granted indefinite leave to remain under the EUSS.
Since I have had the settled status for longer than one year, does this mean this fact on its own satisfies this criterion?
And, if yes, why is this still listed in the requirement documents, given that it is already recorded in my application that:
Have you been granted indefinite leave to enter, or remain in the UK?
Yes
Date your leave was granted (if known)
16 April 2019
(I presumed this question refers to the settled status, no?)

The proof could be a PR (EU) card, BRP (UK) card or your Settled Status reference number (as it's online only).

Thank you very much for your answer.

I presume the adequacy of the settled status alone is based on the fact that it has been acquired since longer than 1 year?

Yes, for purpose of naturalisation.
