That kind of shift can affect bike handling, but it certainly is rideable. Smaller shifts of less than an inch can't really change very much. A shift of 10mm in saddle is only a change of 1% in weight distribution between wheels.
As far as standing and stuff on your bike, if little changes affect your ability to move around on the bike, you have issues besides mere bike fit.
Based on my own experiences, my researching regarding fit, the endless 'favourite saddle' threads here on BF and what I've seen on various events and group rides, these 'little changes' affect everyone.
But if you don't think so, I can certainly understand your indifference toward STA, and bike fit in general.
