High amplitude is not analogous to good performance of a watch. There's a lot more to it than that and that is why the amplitude only needs to be below a maximum value when fully wound and above a minimum value after 24 hours.

Rolex claims the chronergy escapement is 15% more efficient which means less amplitude is required to perform optimally compared to swiss lever escapements.
