I think part of it has to do with trying to get true full-range sound with speakers whose boxes and/or drivers are undersized. The excessive excursions of smaller bass drivers often result in both harmonic and Doppler distortion, which does add amusical components to the upper end of the audible range.....
With larger boxes and drivers, the bass is linear, allowing the harmonics of all instruments to be heard in a more natural state. I've found that lack of bass linearity causes the "brightness" that is too often blamed on extended HF or flat FR.
I've even noticed the impact of bass linearity on the top octave.... IMO, high-frequency clarity is almost a lost art in sound reproduction. Hearing the sweet "sparkle" of the triangle in the midst of full orchestral forces often brings goosebumps inside a concert hall, but is one of the most-difficult things to capture and get right in home audio.
