It is to do with the weight transfer under drive / braking on a 2wd.
Remember what adding castor and kick up does to the handling balance ....
Also the more kick up the easier it is to get the car to ride over bumps / inclines (rather than running into them square on) but you can only run large amounts of kick up if your not applying large loads through the suspension as a by product of acceleration / braking .... a 4wd with as much kick up would be more like a nodding donkey than a race car
