I think they're adjusted to whatever it takes to make the front end even. If you think about it, the vehicle's weight is never going to be perfectly balanced left and right, and also the springs are never going to be perfectly matched. We're not talking about a million dollar formula one car here, where everything is calculated down to the last gram.
If nobody has played around with adjusters, and like you say, it's level and drives straight, then I'd guess it just is what it is. My truck came from the factory like that, too, before I messed with it. (different truck, but you get the idea) It still ended up with more threads on one side, but the main thing is that it's level.
And I think my right leg is about 3/16" longer than the left. Unfortunately, I don't have any adjuster screws for that. I just walk in circles a lot.

When I had my stock suspension in the torsion bar bolts were the same one in further than the other as well
