A highside is where the tire loses grip, comes out of line from the other tire and then regains grip

chopping the throttle while the rear is out of line due to excess throttle causing wheel spin makes this significantly more likely to happen but it's not the only way to do it. Any number of factors could cause the rear (or front) to lose grip then re-grip. These factors are more often found on the streets than on a track. Sand, gravel, oil, along with water in sealant patches are examples of ways a tire could step out that doesn't involve the rear tire breaking free from excess throttle.

That said, chopping the throttle rarely ends well
