If you add verbosity (ex: -vvv) you will see:

  delta-transmission disabled for local transfer or --whole-file

and thus full replication.

But you are right, even with adding --no-whole-file or using SSH produces a
full replication with -I


rsync -i -rauxHI --no-whole-file --delete --stats --log-file=/tmp/rsync.log /tmp/source/ /tmp/dest/  -n
>f......... foo

Number of files: 2 (reg: 1, dir: 1)
Number of created files: 0
Number of deleted files: 0
Number of regular files transferred: 1
Total file size: 4 bytes
<snip>

rsync -i -rauxHI --delete --stats --log-file=/tmp/rsync.log /tmp/source/ localhost:/tmp/dest/  -n
<f......... foo

Number of files: 2 (reg: 1, dir: 1)
Number of created files: 0
Number of deleted files: 0
Number of regular files transferred: 1
<snip>

rsync -i -rauxH --delete --stats --log-file=/tmp/rsync.log /tmp/source/ localhost:/tmp/dest/  -n

Number of files: 2 (reg: 1, dir: 1)
Number of created files: 0
Number of deleted files: 0
Number of regular files transferred: 0
<snip>

PS: the -a option implies -r: you can thus suppress -r
