Immaterial. He's rubbing at stuff, not ride height. At stuff, the wheel should be moving forward, back to its original position before the lift.
I don't think it's immaterial because as one side goes up the other goes down. Even if you fully compress one side, the other side is still going to be dropped some. The more lift you have, the more that side drops, which means the axle as a whole drops more. (Assuming your shocks are long enough)
Think of it as an average. The average distance between frame and axle of a lifted truck will always be higher than the average distance for a stock truck, no matter what the axle is doing.
This tripped me up quite a bit, and I had the same objection as you, but it makes sense if you think about both sides being in play.
If I limited my droop, I'd be willing to bet I don't rub (or at least not as bad) on the stuffed side.
