That's absolutely not true. Zero rake forks are totally fine and very common on BMX bikes for barspins.

You can also ride a negative rake fork. They are less stable, yes, but a far cry from not actually rideable, cf https://www.instagram.com/yourforkisonbackwards/

I was going to say… my children frequently ride with their bars backwards without issue.
