With the greatest of respect. I believe that the difference in felt pull weight between front and rear triggers, has far more to do with the angle of force and the distence from the pivot to the moment of force (the finger) than differing sear release pressures.

With the rear trigger on a double trigger gun the trigger finger has to move the trigger in a more upward fashion at the same time as to the rear. The front trigger pivots more naturally around the pin. The front trigger is generaly also longer reducing the pressure needed to trip the sear.

Regards.

All that could be true if the trigger mechanisms are made that way, but it doesn't have to be that way. The moment arm of any lever is just the force times the distance, as you stated. I defer to the more knowledgable whether the makers ever take that into account.

The two triggers could be adjusted to give the same "apparent" finger pressure to trip them. The same must be true for single triggers also.
