It's all subjective, of course, although, I completely understand your point. I guess the best analogy I can come up with is playing tug-o-war. If you are pulling as hard as you can (or decently hard, anyway) against an opponent who then lets go of the rope suddenly, you are probably going to fall on your a*s (this would represent very tactile switches like the black Alps in the ABS). If your opponent were to gradually let the rope go, not only would your opponent get a bad case of rope burn on their hands, but you would have an easier time maintaining a consistent pull and stay balanced (e.g. brown Cherrys). I hope this makes at least some kind of sense, but it does seem to against the idea of having tactility in a switch.
