Even with linear springs...the bike will still stand up if you brake on a corner, this will always happened with raked front forks as they compress more or less. The geometry changes as the rake angle increases/decreases with the suspension compression.
And then there's the change in wheelbase to consider as well.. I think it's just that, especially in race applications, linear springs react more predictably than progressive ones which are not as focussed on out and out ability, but more a compromise which allows them to be good at many types of application without excelling in anything (a Jack of all trades scenario).
..... Or my head could be full of nonsense :lol
