I roughly understand why assumptions are needed. In my mind: so that
sympy knows what the numerical values the symbol can assume. Is that a
right way of thinking about it?
It's one (correct) way of thinking about it.
Another way would be: "The set of rules that restrict the values the
symbol can assume". That's the perspective with the focus on the
information that SymPy can use.
