Why are dual axle TTs made with the wheels in the middle?
Why don't you see trailers with tires at the four corners and a steer axle being in front, like an old toy Radio Flyer or even older Conestoga wagon?

Backing would be pertnear impossible without 4 wheel steering on a tow rig.
Back when Desert Shield / Desert Storm happened, I had to get certified to tow an eleventy-million pound Missile pylon that carried 6 ALCMs on the wing of a B-52.
It was transported on a trailer that had wheels at the rear corners and a tow bar attached to a set of wheels at the front. It was towed by an ancient aircraft tug, which had rear steering. operating that mess was a nightmare when backing up. The rear steering was a lever at your left knee.
