what's the reason? it surely isn't ride smoothness, it's control.
similar to a race car -- you don't compensate the speed with damping and spring rates in order to maximize a smooth ride , you do it to more quickly transfer the movement energy OUT of your car, into the ground and traction patch so that the car can remain dynamic for the next force.
this does not equate to ride quality, most race cars (and bikes) are bone-shakers.
