There is still collapse room left and it's really the same difference. The wheel still has to travel the same distance to impact the driver. The collapsible column doesn't limit effect of impact. If you're hit that hard the wheel will end up in the same place. It's a great safety feature,but people did drive trucks till almost the '70s with solid columns and never gave it a thought.
