The whole reason for progressive rate springs is to give you acceptable ride quality during ordinary driving, but become firmer while cornering. I'm sure the increase in rate also prevents bottoming out.

On a side note, I have emailed Progress to find out if their springs are indeed linear as stated in the initial post. I'm not sure they are:

(Edit) I just looked on their website and they are progressive:
