Is this true of ideal lenses, or only true of practical thin lenses? If it is true of ideal lenses, what is the mathematical intuition for why this happens?

Since magnification is determined by -i/o (image distance/object distance), it influences how depth is perceived when images are formed for both types of lenses.
How I think of it is that magnification affects the plane perpendicular to the lens more than it does the depth, making the depth dimension appear exaggerated relative to the actual depth of the object.
