TPS92691: Why does landing page specify a max output current of 5A?

Part Number: TPS92691

TPS92691 is a LED controller, not a monolithic IC which has an integrated FET. Hence, I'm curious why the landing page for this part (https://www.ti.com/product/TPS92691) mentions that Iout(max) is 5A. It was my understanding that the MOSFET is the one that dictated the max output current that could be used based on it's peak switching current i.e the input current req to be drawn from the battery / supply.

Are there any other criterias to consider when estimating the max output current of a controller IC?

Thanks
