yes I do understand that with a perfect system that you are correct but every time you hook it up to a car battery you are taking the chance that the manufacturer that built those parts the cheapest didn't put one of the parts with a lower tolerance in your bike. giving out advice that it can not or will not damage the bike can be incorrect. that is all I am saying. it can damage a weak link in the system.
What you don't seem to get is that 12v's is 12v's. The current draw from 12v's is based on the load resistance.
I=E/R (go read up on Ohm's law)

Also Automotive grade components are better than commercial grade components, because of the expected operating temperature range.
