hope that helps explain some stuff.
whether or not Nissan intended it, there is a range of adjustment there, and that is what allows adjustable tension rods to work. All LCAs I've seen that use oem style tension rods have this play built in. Yes you will bind eventually, but you can bind any setup eventually. There is plenty of adjustment for most people, and if you want more/less caster than you can get at the LCA, you should probably be adjusting it at the top hat anyway.

I'm not saying oem style is end all solution, or any better than other styles, I'm just saying that there is room there for adjustment without binding, which is true.
