I used to believe the opposite, but was convinced otherwise. It has to do with the angle of the pressure plate fingers. They require less travel to engage because a new thick clutch disc positions them at about 90 degrees to slave piston travel. As the clutch wears, the angle decreases resulting in two things: 1. the slave at rest has it's piston displaced more(that's why you see more piston on a worn clutch)2, The piston has to travel relatively further axially because of this finger angle to engage the clutch.
I would agree that the hydraulics are another factor, but the resting point of the pedal and the master cylinder are pretty much a constant. The travel necessary to engage the clutch is the variable.
I'd love to see this issue settled, so I encourage anyone to disagree and convince me I've got it wrong.
