If you multiply a teams winning percentage or point percentage by 2, and then by the number of games, you get their total points.
Point percentage and win percentage is always the exact same.
Of course, at the end of the year, there is usually only about 8 teams below .500. There is currently 11, but that may be attributable to a smaller sample size.

Nope, because loser points are a thing.
50% of points is 82 points in a regular season and way out of the playoffs.
50% of wins is 96ish points and almost always in the playoffs.
No matter the point system and no matter the sport really, if there are no ties, half the teams are going to be above and half below the 50% win line, and when half the teams make the playoffs, the .500 line is always going to be very close to being the exact same thing as the playoff line.
