I agree on the 35mm thing, I am convinced most brands went that way for aesthetics rather than performance. I gave up on them a while back and have found a lot of much nicer 31.8 options, including the ti bars I'm experimenting now.
That said, more sweep made my problems much worse, I don't think it's an objective solution to every problem. It should be a fit variable like bar width, IMO, and tailored to whatever issue the rider is having. I do wish more brands would offer more sweep options, though.
