You’re right by all accounts that the items you mention are also contributory to felt recoil - I agree !
My point is this: when you run a rifle stock as the factory put out, each rifle is it’s own animal, with a non adjustable gas block you are stuck at that amount of gas being sent down the tube to the BCG.
Given no changes elsewhere you can expect that same amount of gas on each trigger squeeze.
What if - the amount of gas at the factory setting is more than what is needed to effectively cycle the gun??? I’m driving at the factory setting being overgassed ...
How would it NOT lessen felt recoil to tune that gas amount to the minimal amount needed to push the BCG at the optimal level ?
No doubt you’ve not changed the recoil impulse of the gun/cartridge but you sure have changed how much is transferred down the tube to the BCG hence the shooters shoulder.
In final, it isn’t the end all be all method but it can contribute to lesser felt recoil
