My understanding is that double wishbones have some advantages in the alignment department. That's a pretty important department, but it's not like other suspensions are shit, and it's just one department among many.

If I wanted sharper turn in, I could stiffen up the rear springs or damping or roll bars, add toe out in front, add camber in front, trail brake, and probably some other things.

Of course all of this would affect the car on exit too, and in all kinds of fun and interesting ways.

Or am I wrong?
Absolutely, and a lot of it is my trail braking has gone to shit since I only got to drive my car on track once in 2020 and it really regressed my footwork. I also miss-spoke, it is not turn in that I have a lot of issue with, but mid corner understeer, a lot of it I fixed late in the season but it is still present. I just think there is a an advantage to the S2K platform that allows them to have to deal with less compromise.
