Like I said, the analogy isn’t perfect. However, I’d argue that rebound damping is loosely analogous to integral control, because half of it’s purpose is to control how much “pack down” you get, which is the suspension terminology for failure to return to the right steady state quickly enough. Too little rebound damping and you get overshoot, too much rebound damping, and your steady state drifts (integrates) away from nominal and your suspension performance can suffer or even fail.
