The tire is always the limiting factor in braking force (or overturning in case of full front brake). So for a given torque, a larger rotor will put less force on the fork.

this is dangerously incorrect. a larger rotor gives more braking power which puts more force on the fork

If you can lock up the front wheel with both sizes of rotor this is not correct.

Then why aren’t rim brakes the most powerful and snapping fork all over the place?
