What they I think do is alter the ride height, if the relationship between the the two eyes of the shock is taken as a constant and it should not change because the weight of the bike has not changed, then moving the eccentricly mounted rear wheel spindle further away from the SA pivot must move the top eye of the shock mount down.

The distance between the rear wheel spindle and the contact patch of the tyre is obviously also a constant
Yes, if the back axle needed to be half way back on the adjuster to get the right chain tension you would have a choice of positions for the axle, 12 o’clock or 6 o’clock giving a difference of an inch or so on rear ride height.
