It's flexible for a reason. Over uneven pavement that slight flex keeps the wheels planted and avoids bounce. If anything, it probably cost more to have stamped steel fabricated instead of a solid piece. GM strategically dialed in more compliance to allow better traction for an already uber stiff chassis.
