First, yes, as I explained in the post you quoted, going bottom up is mostly related to searching for the DD.
However the DDs aren’t random or time based AFAIK. You could pick it on the first choice of clue.
Getting the DD in Jeopardy isn’t as important as it is in Double Jeopardy because in DJ your score is high enough to start you can get significant benefit right away.

Starting at the bottom is almost entirely due to the DD. Although some of it does relate to controlling the board and not leaving money on the board but I think that’s more to do with running out of time than your opponents getting it wrong.
