So the reason they did it could be because of the transmission weight weighing down one side more than the other.
The transmission is more on the left side and not as heavy as a person too. I think when Honda was going into such fine detail as corner balancing, they would have considered it for only 1 driver because when you are driving at the pace where corner balancing can affect handling, it's usually without passengers.
