If that was actually true Toyota/Subaru/everyone else would stop making those complicated heavy stamped and welded beams and just use the el-cheapo tubing on the drift bar and save hundreds of millions of dollars per year. It's a no-brainer that it's not at all equivalent.
I got rear-ended yesterday, without the OE crash beam my car would surely be totaled, with it there's a good chance it's fixable. Not to mention I suffered no injury other than minor aches.
Edit: when we're talking about a car that you drive on the street every day, or even just on a regular basis like on the weekends, it's so not worth it.
