Maybe it's speed?
I personally want to know too. I doubt someone would be doing 3-4 ft drops off a cross bike if they're not landing on some real soft ground, but it seems for a lot of situations, a cross bike would just about do it. I mean, 20 years ago, most mountain bikes were hardtail with rigid forks anyway.
