a huge amount of the development effort that goes into air-springs is dedicated to making them behave more like a coil
Luckily for you, you skipped the era of mtb suspension feeling absolutely awful. My first air forks took so much force to get them moving that they didn't sag when I sat on the bike

Yeah, I'm just curious. Also, the more reading I did about suspension the clearer it was that a huge amount of the development effort that goes into air-springs is dedicated to making them behave more like a coil, whereas the reverse (for e.g. hydraulic bottom-out on the Smashpot) is a "yeah we got this" in comparison.
