Yes.

Master tells slaves how often they should be polling the master.

> An answer to my own question: It is the master being burdened to respond to possibly many number of slaves. Hence, it controls the number. Is this the rationale for what you have mentioned below?

Yes, I think that's correct. The sync interval is controlled by
master, so the delay interval should be too.
