That was also what happened in the days of ceramic cartridges. The way
they worked made the output almost independent of the frequency for a
given displacement of the stylus, assuming the input impedance of the
amplifier was high enough.

For most of them, loading the cartridge with a 47 kilohm resistor almost
made the output curve match the RIAA curve with a properly loaded
magnetic cartridge.
