Yes. Although DSC is set to off, the system is still active, this is how the active differential gets data fed to it.

Not sure if you are correct about only the differential being used during LC - you may very well be, I just don't know enough about it to take your word on it - but even if so, that still means DSC is in the mix so what I said in the post you quoted still holds.

Now, it does bring up an interesting question. That is, even without LC, if I launch the car with DSC off does the differential still use sensor data at that point? My understanding would be that it does not and instead is just operating passively in this case. But I could be wrong. And if I am then you're right in that my earlier post would be misleading and should be revised.
