Protein recommendations should actually be based on how much muscle you have. Or more accurately, your lean body mass.
Using weight is fine and is often used as that’s a number the general public actually knows. I mean who knows their lean body mass who isn’t an athlete/bodybuilder? It’s also perfectly functional unless you’re massively overweight. So the distinction is not that relevant.
Basically if you’re like 150-200kg and very fat. You don’t need to be eating massive amounts of protein.
You’re completely right that overeating protein is irrelevant for 99,9% of people though. The protein per meal limits were calculated on fast digesting pure protein shakes. But if you eat before/with your shake or just eat food your body has much more time to digest all the protein.
