But doesn't this just mean that there is less contact area at the hub end
instead of the diff?
If that's the case, what's gained?

The cure for this is to punch out the welch plug inside the splined hub, then
pressing the exposed axle end the 3/8" in the direction of the banjo. This
puts a little more surface area of the splined axle end inside the diff to
help prevent snapping of the axle. Don't forget to put in a new welch plug,
or in a pinch appropriate sized rubber balls. Otherwise, your nice clean
diff lube ends up dripping over your nice clean brake shoes.
