I think that is exactly right. If you look at where the shock and sway bar mount, they effectively split the open span into 1/3s with only a few inches between each span, which should be more than strong enough for the minimal forces the LCA will see in that direction. Also, I am not sure of the material used for other LCAs, but the SPLs are titanium, which could contribute to the lack of cross bracing required.
