I've asked myself the same questions back in 2019 when I added NVMe support
for the check_smart monitoring plugin (which uses smartctl).
See https://github.com/Napsty/check_smart/issues/32#issuecomment-499419649 .
Some of your questions might be answered there, but some attributes still
aren't very clear or understandable to me. ;-)

Unsafe shutdowns just seems to increase on every shutdown or reboot by the
