I agree symmetry alone is a bad metric and efforts to build a service, or
artifically game traffic in order to create symmetry will likely have
negative consequences all around.

I can¹t speak for all situations, but I believe relative ³balance" was
designed to be one of several criteria which outlines the definition of a
³Peer² in the Internet's current two sided market.  It is one criteria
which helps define some measure of economic trade of network investment to
carry traffic between respective customer networks and helps avoid
exploitation of the trade relationship.
