I think the former as well. For some food crops low resistance can result in lower yields or damaged fruit. Per UC IPM Online

...Severely infected plants may have reduced yields, shortened production times, and fruit that has little flavor.

Anecdotally my Lungwort (Pulmonaria saccharata 'Milky Way') plants, which have low or no Mildew resistance, have struggled for several years. Bethlehem Sage (Pulmonaria 'Spilled Milk') , with good mildew resistance, have multiplied well.
