He's correct on that point.

However, he's wrong to believe it matters. Bikes have typically had poorer leverage or rear brakes about as long as they had two brakes. Some have agreed that it's intentional to better proportion brake force (like in cars) but it's actually an inadvertent consequence of fork and seat stay geometry.

In any case, it doesn't matter.
