Why can racers change direction with the front wheel in the air, and why do bikes go straight when a rider falls off? https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Dynamics-Second-Vittore-Cossalter/dp/1430308613 And I'm not disagreeing that counter-steering works, it's just not the only way to turn a bike. Simply taking one hand off the bars and pushing and pulling demonstrates that. The gyroscope effect is a major part of what makes a bike stable at speed. Weighting the footpegs is equally important as handlebar inputs.
