As far as I know, "digital" lenses mostly are lower quality lenses with an image circle only big enough to cover the smaller chips.

That, plus more attention to anti-reflection coating on the back of the lens.

I think I'd have noticed, and people would notice in photos, if the
distance to the subject didn't affect the image size.  In fact, I think
that must be some sort of error in the description.
