Good challenge, what I was thinking is what problem with bikes is the long C/S solving? I thought it was a straight forward question.
I suggest eliminate “in bike design” and problems or current deficiencies refer to the current bikes available. Another way of saying it is what “improvements” in bicycles result from the Long C/S.
So far the responses indicate Long C/S improve
Overall handling, seems to apply to all surfaces.
Comfort, especially from bumps in the surface.
Climbing and Descending single track type trails (like the ones in the RBW pictures on Mt Diablo). The climbing improvement appears to due to improved weight distribution vs improved bio-mechanical items.

I would say “solve some objective problem not addressed by all other bikes or be an improvement by all other bikes” regardless of the logical/philosophical issue of Rivendells existing or nor.
Also, I think most of us would agree “all other bikes” would the bikes you see in Trek store, a Fuji store, a Specialized store, a Crust website, a Walmart sporting goods section, etc. I am not thinking about designs which may exist in the world where bikes are used in lieu of motorized vehicles and not just as a recreational diversion.

Thanks for the RBW explanation. I vaguely remember it, but didn’t think he would increase then C/S so much
I see Grant’s point: it’s more an improvement vs a problem solver.
I see the ‘tall rider’ issue, longer seat tubes increase the saddle setback. However, I’m 5’6” and my frames are all 21”, so I couldn’t even ride a 25”, let along know how the increased 3cm setback effects the rider
I see the weight distribution/stability effects.
