By that logic, the slab of my garage floor should be about five feet thick at one corner. Instead, a reinforced concrete stem wall constrains engineered backfill that was placed in 6 inch lifts and beat down to two inches with a six-inch reinforced concrete slab on top. Compacted backfill is perfectly fine. If the soil is collapsing already, "natural compaction" isn't so great to start with.
