Is Apple headphone safety level accurate? (alien.top)

I’m using DT-770 80 ohm with a lightning adapter, seemingly at a pretty quiet level, but it’s saying 85-90dB. When I use my APPs, I usually stick around 65-70dB at a similar loudness level (at least to my ears). Does headphone safety incorrectly calculate the volume level with higher resistance headphones like mine?

It's only for Apple earpods and airpods, for most it's completely inaccurate.
