IMO its all about string tension and how hard or soft one personally plays. If one is used to 11s and switch to 9s, they'll probably need to compensate with a lighter touch.
I currently play 9-46 in standard 6 string tuning. I'd go heavier for lower tunings to keep the tension about the same and not drastically change my playing style.
If I want to down tune one of my standard tuned guitars I have to have a really light touch or I'll pull/pluck notes out of tune.
