In a car where the front springs and rear springs are different the masses are mostly symmetric side to side but the driver isn't andd the masses fore/aft are wildly different
Sheet medal isn't the best metric to judge weigh distribution, it can be bent, warped, hung differently etc.
Like a boxer a car wants weight evenly distributed on all it's supports, I agree that for street use this isn't critical but if one is into it it is worth setting the car up right, the dynamic behavior depends on on the corner weights not the corner heights
You want to set the car up so that the diagonal sums are at least close to each other
for instance if the corners are
504 542
780 820
that at first glance looks bad, but the diagonal sums are
LF+RR=1324 and RF+LR = 1322 which is great
An issue is hat when the corner weights are right the corner heights are likely to be off a bit, some cars more so than on others, many choose to split the difference for stret use so that the car looks better, not all cars are this way
