The two are not related whatsoever lmao
How will greater front bias cause my car to inexplicably lose ALL brake force and fly into a wall?

I guess you didn't read my previous post.
Lets say you're at a casual track day. Two scenarios
Scenario 1: Equal front and rear compounds.
Front brake pads get overworked due to front bias -> front pads fade -> only the rear pads are remaining -> results in either an off (not enough sheer braking power) or a spin (rear brake bias while trail braking, causing a loss of control).
Scenario 2: Staggered compounds to "fix" rear brake bias.
Rear brake pads heat up quicker due to increased friction -> increased heat further increases friction, further causing rear brake pads to heat up more than the front -> rear pads overheat from being overworked -> only front brakes are left, now making fronts overwork while rears remain cooked -> no braking force -> incident
