As rear cassettes get more cogs and chains get narrower, front Derailleur cages also get narrower, this causes rubbing problems to be exacerbated, especially when the chain gets to the small-small or big-big combinations. Fat tires make the problem worse. I would say in this instance the medium size front ring and Huge back cog might have infringed on the owners enjoyment of the bike? Simply dropping the front ring to 36t(?) and mounting a smaller cassette would have dropped at least a pound and livelied up that bike considerably!
