Assuming that the flexibility of the headshell allows for more accurate tracking/tracing, why hasn't this become a standard for pivoted arms, more or less obviating the need for different lengths of arm? Bit of scepticism here from an admittedly reactionary standpoint.
It seems there are always trade offs and compromises. Every design that makes one thing better usually cost you somewhere else. Playing Records is a very imperfect science.
