The problem with using two springs is space, to get a spring of a suitable rate will require either a certain length with a smaller diameter coil or a shorter spring with thicker coils, the shorter spring will have its travel restricted as it will go coil bound too quickly, a progressive wound spring has both length and a good rising rate allowing full travel to be used and give a good ride for most conditions
