Very good point. The diaphram clutch does require a lot less of left leg pressure. I suppose that is why they have become so popular. I never liked the things because back in the sixties on a performance CHEV the diaphram plate would collapse on high RPM speed shifts. I guess they have overcome that problem. But you are correct in the spring strength helping to depress a finger style plate.
