A linked brake system will help. But say you break one brake cable, then the bike becomes dangerous to ride. And if the fault occurs unexpectedly, then rider reactions are hard to predict, and it could cause a crash.
Let me show you why I didn't incline the king pin to reduce the scrub,a good design should compromise all specs and cost to achieve the best benefits

Also see a type with half the wheel span scrub,full floating sus. can release road resistance a lot
