I could see a really stiff sway bar doing what you're describing a bit since those actually limit independent wheel motion, but not a strut bar.

The strut bar doesn't know the difference between being compressed by a bump, or being compressed by loading the outside suspension in a corner.

All a strut bar does is minimize the strut towers folding towards each other under load. The forces from a bump or from a corner are acting on it the same, just at a different speed and duration.

Bro, your theory may have a chance to live

I only shared my personal experience

Bar with flex section feels more comfort on a harsh road, still giving same ( you can not tell the difference ) steering sharpness as a solid one

just my 2 cents
