Isn't that so instead of having short drive side spokes with cassette they can be the same length like on a track hub?

Is the front a different story?
Yes, because the bike becomes a bit horrid if the tyre contact patch doesn't follow in line astern of the projection of the steering axis

The front is quite a different story... There are a lot of forces at play on the front wheel. The rolling resistance of the tyre contact patch on the ground exerts a force on the head-tube bearing. So it needs to be carefully alligned to keep it from going 'horrid'
Clockwise

I thought Mike Burrows had been building bikes with offset rear wheels for a while now, proving they track fine. Is the front a different story?
