The LCD screen can run anywhere from 20hz to 70hz if you unlock it with a script, it just starts getting more and more flickery below 35ish and the panel isn't rated to run over 60 which is why Valve limited it to 40-60.
This is not about VRR. I am talking fixed refresh rates.
This is entirely possible because the display can perform at any refresh rate between ~~40~~ 45 and 90. ~~As to why 75 over 50, your second paragraph answers that.~~
Edit: you can totally do 30 at 60, but it would be increasing stutter for missed syncs.
Edit2: oled screen is 45-90 hz
