Three reasons for a float drop spec.
The geometry of the float tang and the needle can exceed the angle that allows it to push into the seat. It gets jammed crooked in the seat bore if allowed too far out.
The float may touch the side of the bowl if allowed too far down, causing either or both the potential jamming of the float sideways, causing a stuck float, or wearing a hole in it from touching the bowl. (Brass and aluminum/zink also corrode if made from those metals)
The third is to pull the needle out of the seat far enough to assure full flow of fuel into the bowl.
The spec. is exact but in practice if the needle does not jam, the float does not touch, and the gas flows well it works.
