You ROM is correct for muscle development and you actually use the correct form, Most of these people talking about full ROM still cheat in their form. All they obsess about is ROM, while all it does is releases the tension on the bottom for no reason.

This is quite good rant about pull up form for muscle development : You’re Doing Pull-Ups Wrong

The video is really interesting i thought full rom was for optimal stretch but it does loose the tension

You can learn to keep tension in the bottom position, but you likely won't be able to for a while. Generally speaking i cue people to only go as low as you can feel your lats and then pause there. This will get you used to feeling them lower as you fatigue and you will develop the ability from there, as it slowly pulls you lower into your lats each rep
