Why does the nose drop when you reduce the 'throttle' / thrust?

A topic is raging on the 'Rotorheads' forum (not for the first time) asking the same question.

The problem is that I think the complexity of helicopter aerodynamics is clouding what is probably quite a simple concept.

Thus, I put the same question to y'all in the hope of a simpler explanation!

So, why does the nose drop when you reduce throttle?

Same question to the Rotorheads!
