Well, for starters the headtube has to be shorter, and the fork crown ends up a million miles from the rack mounting braze ons, limiting your front rack mounting options (also making fender mounting difficult). The fork blades have to be much longer (and probably stouter), making chances for an elegant looking fork slim to none.
I think a bike is either designed for suspension or it isn’t. Trying to do both is a bad idea. There’s also the admittedly subjective matter of aesthetics (I think they are as ugly as including disc and canti mounts - i.e. super ugly).
