Resolution Note:
Point and Spot Lights have a fading factor when they are too far from the camera. When the Light's distance to the camera is lesser than the fadeDistance parameter then the light does not fade (such as the gameview suggests). Starting at 90% of that distance, the fade will start and over it, the light will have no more influence on the lighting of the scene - this is what happens when you are scrolling further from the sphere (as you are also scrolling away from the Light source).
(see https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@7.4/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.HighDefinition.HDAdditionalLightData.html#UnityEngine_Rendering_HighDefinition_HDAdditionalLightData_fadeDistance)
Only Directional Lights won't fade based on the distance to the Camera.
