These curves are for a white LED with nominal and maximum forward

Well, it tells what you and I - and several others - knew and told already.
If one realizes that this curves are typical values that may vary even for
LEDs from the same batch and also depend on temperature he'd have to agree
that constant voltage to drive a LED is bad engineering practice.
