None of this answer my question. Though Kerley has just put more time into explaining his view point than most.
Have some specifics:
The headtube on an NS Majesty is 70.5 degrees when used with an average length A-C dirtjump suspension fork.
I use a shorter rigid fork with 26mm rake. This tightens the headtube to 74 degrees.
As a direct comparrison;
The Milwalke Bruiser has a headtube of 74.5 degrees.
According to the charge website the scissor is 71.5 degrees
I could not find the headtube angle of the ESB.
I have 26" wheels with 2.3" tyres - total outside diameter of 675.84mm
700c wheels with 32s have a total outside diameter of 686mm
The difference is negligible.
The rear end on a dirtjump frame is as short as possible (Wheel slammed to seattube) - exactly the same as a fixed wheel freestyle bike.
The effective toptubes are also comparrible.
