This. Because they rotate on turn in, they get their wheels straight and can get on the throttle hard without spinning. For some corners, trail braking is the way to rotate on turn in. But I think on most fast corners, a more difficult technique is required, which is getting the rotation done with a too-early, really decisive turn in, and then deal with it.
So learning to do that is my big goal. I'm mostly a tremendous pussy driving my DD on track and will never go even 9/10 in high-risk corners, but I think I can learn this approach with enough practice. I'm not really expecting to learn it in one day or even one summer, but it's what I'm working towards.
