Kinda apples and oranges

Haleiv "aku'm"'s stature is Talmudic in nature

AFAIK There is nothing in talmud about how to light candles for YT
[Except for a non-extant Yerushalmi quoted by hagahot Miamoniyyot]

Same for brachot on lighting which Maggid Mishneh attributes to Seder
Rav Amram Gaon.

So in these cases "lo plug" could be completely different in nature.

Usually A talmudic g'zeira would be more subject to Lo Plug than a post
Talmudic G'zeira

Consider the meat unsalted for 72 hours.
Which is Gaonic. An exception is made when re-soaked - allowing the
clock to start over again. BUT afaik this exemption not in the original
g'zeira itself. But, it didn't have to be.

As far as this MGA goes I have to see it inside. It is very strange to
me to apply a real "lo plug"

OTOH, EG there are rabbis who insist on ending taanis tzibbur using
the same criteria for tzeis as Shabbos, even though they are differen -
namely one is d'+raisso and other derabbaan. The "Lo Plug" is probably
about confusing people re: 2 flavors of tzeis.

Also KAJ-Breuer's has a level time for issur hametz erev Pesach regardless
of the sha'os z'maniyos, but yet it does account for Standard vs. Daylight
time
