Putting new tires on the rear results in a car that can be steered after the car drops below a certain speed.

I understand that has been the technical recommendation for more than a decade. How does that affect the scheduled rotation (7,500 miles) when the replacement tires are "X"ed or "H"ed (directional carcasses) to the opposite axle?
As for the industry suggestion, it seems to hold water like a screen door when RWD or 4WD (priority rear) is involved on a vehicle with better than 60/40 weight distribution. Is there a deeper explanation?
