As an aside, I recall designing the linkages for Ackermann with paper and pencil when I was a kid. CAD really spoils us! I wouldn't want to go back.
Once those front tires start sliding at the limit of adhesion, then Ackermann is much less of a concern!
I suspect it's because the cars corner so hard that the inside front is very lightly loaded so it could be at almost any angle and still work. That's also why it does seem to have a larger effect on initial steering response. There's still some load on it initially.
