Why do video game devs tie game mechanics to framerate? (lemm.ee)

I recently tried to play Wolfenstein New Order, I realized that unlocking the framerate makes the game break. why? (sorry for bad english)

Wolfenstein New Order was made by Machine games and used ID Tech 5, same as Doom 2016. Nothing to do with Bethesda or their Creation Engine. Bethesda only published it.

I suppose that's what I get for just doing a quick google 🙃

That is really interesting though, my understanding is that Doom 2016 is known for running pretty well and achieving high framerates, or at least that was the sense I got from tech youtube when I watching that more. I wonder what the devs were doing in that case.
