We might be getting closer here, cause yeah that's exactly what isostacy says. And it's not nonsense at all... put enough mass of something and it will start to do work to something beneath it, regardless of their relative densities.
Think snowflakes slowly compressing underlying snow into denser glacier ice, sediments slowly compacting and lithifying underlying layers into rock, and ice cube in a glass of water, or a bunch of colliding low density continental crust deforming the contact with the underlying denser mantle (pictured above and circles in purple in your post)
I would just caution that the diagram is a 3D conceptual model and is no way drawn to scale, so in this case your blue circle isnt really meaningful.
