Andy, I mean, obviously impacting _any_ component transfers some kind or force into the frame.
The point is, as you note, an ISCG mounted bash taco transfers forces different that a crank mounted bash ring and I think most folks working on bikes would agree they’ve seen more broken ISCG tabs than crank spiders.
Looking at the original ISCG chain guides which all combined crank mounted bash rings with ISCG mounted rollers I’d say this is an original truth that was lost at some point.
