Hybrid and oil life

Gen 4

2024 hybrid owner here wondering about the relationship between EV mode and oil life. I'm assuming when in EV mode the engine oil does not circulate and therefore does not accrue the lifespan hit oil does when the ICE engine is on - fair?

It seems my vehicle is EV ~25% of the time and if the above logic is sound, is it reasonable to say that the 10,000mi oil change interval is really closer to 7,500mi when adjusted for EV miles?
