Why is cardio exercise recommended if the heart is a muscle and can become “too big” or “too strong”?

Cardio exercises are great for you, but I’m confused. Since the heart is a muscle, does exercising it make it grow bigger, which could lead to heart disease?

My father has a enlarged heart and this question crossed my mind.

It can become too big but this comes with great effort but if doing just a decent amount would get you to a balance with a “fit” heart. It would be the same as asking: why is eating recommended/mandatory if you can become “too fat”?
