If the arm was designed to resist failure more so than the bulkhead, you'd be tearing further into your car to repair it. If your hitting a post or whatever immovable object at a high rate of speed, something has to give. I would prefer to change an arm instead of something further down the line.
Think of the screw count to get to the lower bulkhead compared to changing out an arm.
We'll give me stronger arms if I start breaking other stuff then make that part stronger, it's almost comical how easy arms break sometimes. How come my tekno can survive hits going twice as fast it weighs twice as much, but my b44 can't, it's not like I'm the only one breaking arms and how do other brand cars not have this problem, it's design flaw and why should we just deal with it. Ok say what you want like don't crash but even the pros had dnfs due to breaks.
