That’s a compromise the restaurant attempted to make - I’ve seen it often. Autograts get a lot of flack, so making it lower protects servers from the “$100 is a huge tip on a $2,000 bill” crowd but still gives customers a little choice. Also tries to encourage bigger tippers to tip above and beyond what might be on the autograt.
Autograts are a constant source of headache for restaurants: people often complain about the minutest of details when forced to tip.
