Braking forces would twist the front axle out of the car if they did have brakes.

I used to drag race a 12-second VW with no front brakes, it stopped fine at over 105 mph after a run, of course this 1300 pound car was heavily rear weight biased.

Exactly. Bias.

Yes, how much bias, that's what the formula/calculator helps determine, how much. Depending on the type of car, the intended purpose, there are more desirable front/rear ratios.

Another extreme example, you don't take a rail dragster on a road course.

Just because something 'works', doesn't mean it's optimal.
