I never want to cut them for fear of maybe needing it, but instead was going to try and add a Velcro to the bag’s side to use up the extra slack

Some bikes have thicker toptubes. If you don’t have a bike with a big top tube, cut it, nothing to lose.
I added velcro to my top tube bags to hold the extra strap. Didn’t want to cut it because I swap mine between a couple different bikes, and the full sus carbon bike has a way fatter frame that needs much more strap. Just used some stick on velcro and it’s been great for ~2 years, including through the wet season in PNW.
Because every bike is different. Better to have too much then trim to fit than not enough.
Not a stupid question at all.
Some people have more girth
The bartender asks “Why the long face?” The man replies “I just found out my wife is sleeping with another man. I’ve decided I’m going to drink myself to death.” The bartender looks shocked and says “I’m sorry I can’t help you kill yourself.” The man asks “Well what would you do in my situation?” The bartender puffs himself up a bit and says “If I found out a guy was sleeping with my wife I wouldn’t sit around feeling sorry for myself, I’d kill the guy.” The man jumps up from his stool and shouts “That’s a great idea! Thanks!” and runs out of the bar. A couple hours goes by and the bartender is starting to get nervous when the man walks back into the bar with a smile on his face. “Did you kill the guy?” The bartender asks nervously. “Nope! I slept with your wife. Whiskey please.”
I usually fold it before the hanger and put the Velcro on the folded part for fixation so it doesn’t have to be cut
