If you attach the bags to the lower legs of a suspension fork, they will indeed be unsprung mass, but this is generally a bad thing, as it makes it harder for your suspension to move.
I thought it was meant to be better because there was less weight on them but thinking about it, you would just tune them for the heavier weight.
But they likely do handle better than on the bars so there's that. Basically, I should just carry less. LOL
