Why doesn’t min-content work with auto-fill or auto-fit?

The second rule doesn’t work because min-content is an intrinsic sizing function.

§ 7.2.2.1. Syntax of
repeat()

• Automatic repetitions (auto-fill or auto-fit) cannot be combined
  with intrinsic or flexible sizes.

§ 11. Grid
Sizing

• An intrinsic sizing function (min-content, max-content, auto,
  fit-content()).

• A flexible sizing function [is a dimension with the fr unit].
