Really, what is chassis flex good for?

In motor sport, most, if not all race cars use ridged chassis platforms. Why isn't this transferring over to 1/10th scale race cars? Shouldn't the suspension be doing all the work? To me, the latest and greatest chassis flex design is just another gimmick to sell a kit. Also, I think adding chassis flex is counter intuitive to the suspensions main purpose. Is adding chassis flex a way to compensate for a poor setup?
