Technically, the constraints on idle thrust are -

o Flight idle - limited by the time required to accelerate (throttle burst) to 90% of TO thrust (for GA).

o Ground idle - probably limited by the ability to carry gearbox HP loads and/or bleed air requirements.
That sounds like gas generator energy and not necessarily a significant relationship as a comparative indicator of idle propulsive thrust
