I think it's less of an issue with the following wheel being large, but the idea of a large wheel as the steerer... I mean my 18s understeer if pushed, can you imagine a pair of 700C understeering?!
The weight is transferred to the front corner on cornering, and all wheels stay on the ground over any terrain with a trike. So a pair of small steerer wheels at the front, and a large drive wheel at the rear, makes engineering sense to me - and most things that make engineering sense have natural good looks.
