Exact heat variant

Hey everyone! I just had a conversation with someone on fb about cage temps- i said my temps were high 70's- low 80's. This person said something that made me roll my eyes, but isn't the important, but got me thinking about this- Thermostat is set to 80 degrees but let's face it there's going to be fluctuation of a couple degrees...right? Hot spot (belly heat) is pretty darn close to 90. My question is say your heat tape/hotspot is bang on 90 degrees but your ambient/coolside is like 76 rather than 80 why would that not be good enough? Won't the snake just need to head over to the warm side more frequently to warm up? In the wild we all know temperatures change as quick as we blink and i think animals will rarely have perfect temperatures to thermo regulate so why are we so small on temperatures in enclosures
