increasing reach (and thus FC) will only increase stability a bit - as it'll be a smaller amount and head angles would still be far too steep.
from a fit, bike handling and geometry perspective there is absolutely no reason for larger frames to have steeper head angles. whilst there's plenty for them to have slacker head angles. the status quo is purely about package size.
also any further increases in reach are going to need increases in seat angle - they're already far too slack in larger sizes.

No, the bolded part is physics. Of course you can change other parts to the design to offset it (like lowering the rider). Fit and physics are often at odds in bike designs yet dependent on each other. Its a pretty hard thing to get right.

People have suspected that Speeder is the OEM for Winspace and Tavelo are ex-Winspace employees....
