Thanks for the post. I've listed the measurements in both metric and imperial.
It's based on the centre of the BB to top of seat tube.
No misconceptions there, just a personal preference.
I prefer riding a larger MTB frame. The shorter stem wasn't added to reduce my reach, but to improve control and handling.

Some misconceptions about size here. MTB sizing is way different to road.
Check the Top Tube length. I ride a (21”) 54cm road bike - but I’d ride a 17” MTB.
A 21” MTB is huge - hence the tiny stem here.
