There are a number of worn down areas on trails with grasses on either side and a narrow track in a rut. I often had uphill peddling difficulty with my Hunqapillar at 5mm tires. We'll see how much difference 2.25" tires makes. The scenario where BB height is an issue is more common on single track, but you are right, it is a non-issue on mild single track and dirt or paved roads.
