@Klem I promise you there is bend on a metal (or any solid material) as long as there is a force applied to it. The math is analogous to 'Hooke's Law' which defines how a spring compresses or elongates temporarily. The math of it is absolute.
But to your point, it's possible that it is of low overall significance compared to other factors. As an engineer just don't discount anything until I have numbers to evaluate in the form of calculation or measurement data from a design of experiments where all the possible variables are evaluated.
And I totally agree that a scope should be able to compensate for the POI shift. Your point of them slightly off axis is totally possible. I could see it impacting the aerodynamics of the bullet as it (and the gas) passes through the actual suppressor. This could easily change the trajectory and possibly the spin of the bullet.
