Dietary cholesterol amount is not indicative of risk, unfortunately. I don't know why people keep repeating this. The body produces almost a gram of cholesterol a day, dietary cholesterol is around a quarter of that (depending on the person); if you try interfering with cholesterol production and somehow halt it, you will die.
_Quality_ of dietary cholesterol is indicative of risk, but only a relatively small one, as the things that lead to damaged dietary lipoproteins also damages the endogenous ones as well (ie, ultra-processed foods, the chemicals in them try to ultra-process you too).
Eating less cholesterol doesn't magically make your food good for you, and the average public shouldn't be continually told this.
