A rack still allows weight to be distributed between the axle and the bar, not letting all the weight hang on the steerer tube; I can imagine depending on the fork the flex would be a pita with heavy loads.
I also like some upsweep and sweepback on my bars. I hardly see the purpose of integrating everything...
