That's one way to put it. The carbs don't actually respond to engine load
though, just airflow.

Definitely.

Not bleeding likely !! If there is some difference, you need to find what
is wrong and correct it. The carbs should be identical in function;
deliberately making one different is just going to make things worse.

No, it should be corrected by replacing the damaged part.
> This unequal rubbing proably won't affect idle, will it?
Yes, it will. Any rubbing or binding whatsoever will upset the mixture at
all throttle settings (including idle).
And, even if it didn't affect it directly, anything that upsets idle mixture
will also affect mixture at other throttle settings; since the mixture
adjustment done at idle also changes the mixture for the entire range.
