The issue is "acceptable ovality or manufacturing tolerance ".
The engineers at Mahle like all other manufacturing facilities have to call out a tolerance that is close enough to function properly and loose enough to make the product affordable.
Mahle has decided that these cylinders met the criteria for success.
This should remind all of us that "perfect is the enemy of the good".

Put more simply, this is not rocket science. A .001 here and there just doesn't matter.
