Anti Sway Systems - Necessary or Marketing Con?

This may open a Pandora's box and bring down a lot of criticism on my head but the question really remains a valid one I believe. Are Anti Sway bars (Like the Hensley) really necessary or a crutch ...

I bet they didn't make it through Oatman, Arizona without help. That was one of the most dangerous sections of Rt 66 back then. It was not bypassed until 1953 (via Kingman, AZ to Needles CA--now part of I-40).

There was a gas station right before Oatman, Cool Springs, that used to help many folks through that part of Rt 66, including many Grapes-of-Wrathers.
