It has several meanings, but yeah, more stable (especially in descents) is one thing. The bikes are then made more agile handling with shorter stems to pair with those longer reach figures. Another thing is the steeper seat tube angle to promote stronger power transfer in the hip and less hip impingement. But to mitigate the problems with toe overlap, the slacker head tube angle makes for a longer front-center, so no toe overlap.
