I agree with you that this is probably overblown.

But, just to play devil's advocate, it seems plausible that sunlight might activate some kind of defense mechanism in the eye that protects it from the effects of the higher energy part of the spectrum.

If nothing else, the overall brightness levels would cause your pupil to shrink more in sunlight than under LED lighting.
