As @IslandLife has already said, the amount of drop has no bearing on it unless the tire will touch a completely lowered seat on full suspension compression. My wife's Polygon has a 170 dropper upgraded from the 150 that came originally, maybe 1cm from completely bottomed out and no issues.
Seems to me like a bike that will touch the rear wheel to a completely lowered seat is a defective product.
