I honestly think the only reason you are seeing the 22% support for the less than 100,000 option is because there are probably a lot of them who are thinking "Well, that is still just half of the immigration. That is plenty of a cut, right?"
Meanwhile, if they knew that the actual amount of pushing 1M? You would probably find a lot of Brits making Enoch Powell sound like a bleeding heart Leftist in comparison.
I think your right. It reminds me of the number of Democrats that thought 20,000 unarmed black people were shot by the police every year, it was something like 20%... The correct number was 14. Just recently, Brandon Tatum had to explain to a college student that it was not true that the police have killed 90,000 people since 2023..
That level of ignorance is what caused the policy changes which lead to the George Floyd effect (mass increase in crime). So, I can easily imagine that the inverse were true too. If the British public actually understood that they are getting around 1.5 million immigrants every year, this would be a very different conversation than what it already is.
