But at least in the case of lowering, you're not sweeping past the optimum angle on compression. Your control arm will always be operating under that angle save for weird cases of excessive droop, which is not an issue generally and would be on the unloaded side anyway.
However, if you raise your car, as the suspension compresses, the knuckle will travel from below the pickup point on the subframe, to neutral, to above. This transition will cause unpredictable behavior because of nonlinear and not even unidirectional changes in roll resistance and camber curves

Your wise fab drops the car and compensates for the geometry simultaneously. That's the beauty of it.
That then lets you run the Flex A at "super high height" aka stock height equivalent, while retaining the intended stroke range. Now obviously you shouldn't run the CSG FLA that high out of the box, but thats where an extended sleeve comes in to play.
I get that suspension is a complex system, and you may need to visualize it.
