Have you seen the article on axle paths in this months DIRT mag? Can't say I followed all if it but it sounded like a similar conclusion, suprisingly technical article. Fair enough, thanks.

Put the pivot in the right place and you can get better (more rearward) axle path, and aligning things nicely keeps brake jack (what horst links actually do) under control. Remember Horst links came from an era of canti or V brakes and McPherson struts.
