The docs about the new logging system are very unclear to me

I saw this warning in the Craft updates page:

Feed Me now logs to the database by default. This may lead to an increase in database size if logs are not cleared. To customize this behavior, see Customizing Logs.

This was concerning.

That link didn't work by the way, since it was relative to my Craft instance, but I found what it was pointing to in the readme. The readme currently says:

As of version 5.6/6.2, logging is handled by Craft's log component and stored in the database instead of the filesystem.

This is totally unclear to me. If it's handled by Craft's logging, isn't where it's stored totally up to the Craft configuration? Why do you then say it's stored in the database? What if Craft is not set up to store logs in the database? Or is the "and" in that sentence actually meaning "and additionally"? Which to me would be a bizarre default, to log both to Craft's logger and additionally to somewhere else.

It goes on:

To log to files (or anywhere else) instead, you can disable the default logging add your own log target

This is once again unclear to me, and not just because of the missing "and". If Craft is already logging to files, wouldn't Feed Me therefore also already be logging to files?
