Wow, what a complicated way of saying the oxygen levels decreases the higher you go
No, you are wrong.

Oxygen "levels" stay the same no matter how high you go. The % of o2 in the air remains more or less constant.

The need for leaning as one climbs is nothing to do with the atmosphere. It is (as I explained) due to the primitive way fuel and air are metered by current systems.
