Shenanigans.

If there's a rough slow portion of the track they would absolutely soften the damping to keep the tires in contact and maximize mechanical grip, probably in a rough straightaway as well, then crank up the stiffness on the smooth high speed stuff to maintain flatness for aerodynamics and to keep all four tires evenly loaded. And like mentioned by RB being able to go a click soft or stiff on one end would be fantastic for managing balance, really take a load off the driver if they missed something in the rest of the setup for long sprints. Like he said if it was useful it'd be on Indycars already and you'd see testing and advertising for it everywhere.
