Assumption... incorrect. The primary reason for stiffening a chassis is so the suspension springs, dampers & swaybars control a larger portion of the vehicle's kinetics - instead of the chassis acting as an additional spring. This leads to more predictable handling, and better, more noticeable response to suspension adjustments. Wheel alignment control is only a secondary benefit.
