Agree to disagree. I think you're confusing centering and support. They're different beasts and lug- or hub-centric is just about how the wheel centers when mounted. Neither suggests where the forces are applied once correctly installed.
When you correctly install and torque a wheel, the flush inner wheel face and outer hub face make for a contact patch that distributes the car's weight. The friction between the hub/spacer face and the inner wheel face is where the load is being taken. The wheel neither sits on the studs nor the hub/spacer lips.
