That’s a good point, especially at at high mileage it may become an issue.
But I don’t think it’s normally much of an issue, it would be mostly gear and engine that has that extra stress, and AFAIK they are very durable.
I saw a complete tear-down video review of a VW gear and engine, and they are very well made. So I wouldn’t worry about it, especially if you can find one at a reasonable price with reasonable mileage.
