I have talked with guys with other quads that have actually bent spindles and stuff from going to stronger tie rods.
I really don't see the steering rods being designed as a sacraficial component for crashes. I think excess strength in these parts is simply unjustified more than anything.

I also think it's difficult to proove tie rods as the cause of a broken spindle. When there's enough force present to break a spindle, just about anything can happen.
