In the early days of linear pull brakes, there was a group of people who would clamp their front brakes too hard and consequently endo. I remember having to tell customers to be careful until they got the feel for the brake. Some manufacturers installed a spring on the noodles to moderate the brake pressure.
In other words, you're right.
