Agreed, but if you use a stiffer sway bar alone you are increasing the load on the outer tire. This is no better of a solution then allowing a higher level of camber gain, certainly if you already have a small amount of static camber (-1.5 degrees or less).
The tire sidewall is going to start to roll over more with the increased load and then you still end up sliding more. Most sway bars on the market increase the roll stiffness by over 20%, in some cases as much as 100%. This is most likely greater than going up a spring rate compared to the oem springs. At this point its really up to the driver how they manage tire heat. with increased roll stiffness you will be heating the outer tire significantly more.
