Fused Starter?

I've noticed a lot of people relocating their batteries to the cabin use a ~150A breaker right after the battery then run a large gauge wire to the stock pickup point in the engine bay. This obviously results in the starter being restricted to ~150A+. The stock setup doesn't have the starter fused but I'm not aware of people with relocated batteries tripping breakers left and right. Do our starters really draw less than 150A? I know some V8 starters can pull 200A+.
