Nothing wrong with unibody construction. All vehicles regardless of construction are engineered to a set of specifications. It's not like the design engineers go around over engineering and adding unneeded material cost and weight just because they want to. They would be looking for a new job.

Unibodies have significant advantages. They are lighter to meet a given load, have less body flex, and more interior space. But if you do bend a unibody vehicle's frame it's more difficult to fix than if you bend a body on frame. Either way, no one wants a bent frame so just stay within specs to avoid damaging the vehicle and you will be fine.
