What exactly do you mean by the construction height of the threshold? The lintel? That is supposed to be 11.5 cm high.
The threshold is the lower counterpart to the lintel. With sectional doors, it can be very flat; with up-and-over doors, the strike plate also has to be attached at the bottom. In the mentioned basement it was like this: the staircase had a marble floor, the basement floor was raw concrete, and apparently 4 cm or a bit more of screed height was planned. But there was none, so only a mortar wedge was rammed up to the end of the marble floor. From a user's perspective (for a storage and workshop basement) this was no quality difference; the missing screed was primarily noticeable in the height of the lower door gaps.
Grind down the concrete and leave it as is, without painting. --> Looks great
In one garage, I had bare screed, and in another one with paint on top; that made a significant difference when sweeping. You can hardly grind it so smooth that no dirt settles into the "pores." With paint, you can even mop. Currently, my steel garages have interlocking pavers or sidewalk slabs; cars find that nice enough.
