Are there any actual physicists here which can explain the planck constant going to zero in the feynmann path intrgral to give the classical solution of least action?

I'm so tired of copy-pasted chatgpt answers from delusional neets and popsci schizo ramblings

Letting it go to 0 diminishes all of the higher order terms in the BCH formula involving commutators.
The trotter product is all that is left if you slice your process thinly enough.
