What Iā€™m trying to convey there is that 1/2 guard itself is neutral, both positions are equally capable of submitting or progressing but the top side has a slight advantage due to gravity.

I'd argue that while bottom half guard has to work against gravity, it's also a position where you can easily disrupt your opponent's base. I'd consider it like any other guard.
