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?
  • Steering axles are expensive and can be unstable at highway speed. For what advantage? Why not just mount an axle on the roof, where the brakes/bearings/tires would never wear out?
