Verification on closed loop threshold for Min Coolant Temp

In many my03-my05 wrx's the closed loop min coolant temp is set to 119.4C.
Description supports as "the minimum coolant temperature for closed lopp fuelling".

In other cars, take an example 2.5STI AL390-2230, as well as the 06 XTs, it is set to -12C. Can I please get a verification if this is the exit figure for closed loop or in fact the entry figure for closed loop. If the entry figure for closed loop, the coolant temp almost never reaches 119.4C under normal driving conditions, how/when does it enter closed loop ? And why the STIs set so low ?

Ta. I'm wanting to set mine to 70c but I'd just want some verification or if I've misunderstood summin

edit - oops wrong segment :( Please mod can you move to appropriate ?
