I keep seeing crushing feats being used for both AP and LS and I wondered what's the contextual difference?

Lifting Strength is explicitly the "the amount of upwards force a character can produce", whereas Attack Potency is the "energy damage equivalent" of the "amount of damage a character can produce".
If a character were to stomp on or squish and compress an object, that would only apply to Lifting Strength, as those feats are a result of force, which can be applied into upwards force. Crushing a bottle when the water is all gone is Lifting Strength.
If a character were to clench a boulder and destroy it or grab an opponent's wrist and crush it, that would generally only apply to Attack Potency, as those feats are a result of energy.
Grip strength cannot really be applied to upwards force, as gripping and lifting are two vastly differently processes. Lifting and compressing are, in a sense, "opposites". Lifting is push an object into the air, whereas crushing is compression an object into the ground or into itself.
or something like that...
