The OEM arms are not designed for twisting that's why it flexes, its multi link, Other arms take care of torque(rotation/Twist). That arm should only see vertical load on the strong axis of the part, it's also designed to crumple in an accident the BMR arms will not and might rip their mounting points and cause a ton more damage.

Exactly! It all comes down to what tangible / quantifiable benefit you are achieving with that added or changed part vs. the cost (ie. $$$, weight, potential negative impact on performance).
If GM left that same hardware on the SS 1LE and ZL1, then I'm pretty certain it's not in need of upgrading on a regular SS in most cases. That will not stop people from throwing aftermarket parts on to "fix" a problem that doesn't exist though.
