Oil accumulates down there during normal operation, and will get scavenged out. The problem occurs when too much oil accumulates, and the crankshaft gets submerged. And that can lead to a whole host of problems, from mild power loss all the way to catastrophic engine damage.
According to the last service bulletin I saw, 6 ounces is what they consider the threshold for it being a problem. Under 6 ounces, nothing gets hurt (apparently); over 6 ounces and they figure that some damage may have been done, and that clearly the bike has a problem outside "normal" parameters.

Ive seen this issue brought up and discussed several times now. Ive read through some of the threads and got some opposing points of view and such. Is this "problem" something that was addressed in production and prior to the '19 models? There was just so much info I can't make heads or tales of it all. Thanks.

I am not sure i had my bike at the dealership. They said only 5oz came out. Apparently the moco recommend changing the oil pump. Because it was with in factory spec it's not warranty. Trusting my local dealer they charged the factory for as much as possible. I ended up getting stage 2 torque cam with the new 2019 oil pump and new plate for around half of just stage 2

Because they are claiming with 6oz or less it is operating to spec. There is no general recall. But, they are giving you a new pump regardless, but not providing labor.
