That's an interesting thought - i also find it interesting that total Chaos offers re-designed front suspension components geared towards go-fast that might adjust suspension angles, and how it actually cycles. Maybe they became aware of the problem that is perpetuated or even amplified by some of their proprietary changes, (including your suggestion about different bushing materials used)?
For example, I know that after folks install RCV CV's, some of them quickly find out that they've strengthened a somewhat "Easy" fuse to change out (stock CV's) and therefore move the failure point somewhere else upstream in the drivetrain (Ring and pinion, driveshafts, etc) when the effects of rough terrain, high speeds or oversized tires start to manifest in material failures.
