A thought I had today: raising aggressively preflop and playing passively postflop increases the importance of your preflop equity.
Thoughts?

That is a true statement... I don't understand the significance though. Playing agressively postflop would decrease the importance of your preflop equity, which I think is typically a better result.

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

It's a teaching tool to help new players understand raising for value preflop. (Why raise AK before you see the flop?)

Meah, it sounds like a tight argo-passive which is pretty easy to run over post flop, they play so straight forward they have neon sings of there hands they are holding up...
Sure in situations aggression is not the right play, however it's incorrect NOT to be SELECTIVE aggressive post flop...
I think your pre-flop play only lines you up for post-flop equity… I don’t see much preflop equity other then narrowing the field with hands such as AK… but if you think about it you raise the AK preflop so you narrow the field so you indeed have more post flop equity… anyways that’s my 2 cents…
