I like these
BB's defense doesn't scale linearly, because the EV distribution is not linear.
This chart represents the EV of every hand in BB's range (blue line) facing a 2.5x HU open, relative to folding. Every hand above 0 defends.
The intersection of the blue line with the 0 EV axis determines how wide BB defends. Changing the pot odds is akin to shifting the 0 axis up or down. Changing the PFR opening range or SPR affects the curvature of the blue line. As you can see, BB defense is not a simple linear function.

In HU, whether or not IP or OOP plays more hands largely comes down to the blind structure. I'll use
GTO Wizard's HU Preflop solver to test this. For example, in a 100bb rakeless cash game:
If I change the blinds to something absurd like
0.1/1, then BB defends wider than SB.
