as a naive , it is non-intuitive for me how the lower bound is 0 kelvin, is this the temp where things truly stops oscillating (quantum level) or we just dont care .

All fields have a zero point energy/ground state energy they cannot go below. So, no they won't stop. The Heidelberg uncertainty principle also disallowes zero momentum and a fixed position.
