Of course they do. And the companies that spec longer offset forks presumably think they work better for their respective geometries?
Not saying any of them are wrong. Just observing that apparently bike designers' opinions on this are all over the place and still all their bikes are riding really well. I think bikes are so good already that bike companies must turn to minor details to distinguish their brand.
