I equate it to riding a horse. With your feet below you in stirrups, you ride in a neutral stance and can easily balance and control the beast using your thighs, and you can stand up if needed to mitigate the shock of terrain irregularities. I can't imagine having the same level of confidence and control if my feet were forward and all of my weight was on my tush. Same thing with riding a motorbike.
