Using throttle to control cornering arc?

Wouldn't braking have a more cumulative, greater impact on front suspension compression than just closing the throttle?

Wow this is deep! Considering that most riders only use the front brakes, decreasing throttle would inherently have a greater effect on the rear of the bike, while braking has a greater effect on the front, right? I mean, all things being otherwise equal, wouldn't a 5 mph reduction in speed accomplished by decreasing the throttle have a lesser effect on the front suspension that a similar decrease in speed brought on by the brakes? Obviously ASSuming that you would use the front exclusively. I actually use my rear brakes quite a bit...
