Mmmm good questions!
I see in binary pop synth models that standard NSs can form with masses to about 1.2 Msol.
Not my expertise but there seem to be a few proposed ways to form black holes with masses below the standard limit. Eg bosonic dark matter via NS transmutation can give ~solar mass BHs

Or maybe dark matter accumulates in light neutron stars and cause them to collapse into black holes?
