I'm looking at this definition:
````
The max-content size of a box in each axis is the size it would have
if it was a float given an auto size in that axis (and no minimum or
maximum size in that axis), and if its containing block was
infinitely-sized in that axis.
````
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#intrinsic-sizes

So notably: the actual size of the containing block is unavailable, because it's determined in a hypothetical "if it's containing block was infinitely-sized in that axis" scenario.
