Oh I know the physics, I just also have the practical experience to back up the theory :)

I also drive cars and work on them and on literally every car I’ve owned, front brakes are beefier for this reason. They need to dissipate more heat because they will be doing most of the work. In fact, EV manufacturers have started doing rear drums because on an EV, rear brakes do so little work, disk brake calipers will just seize from rust.
