Interesting. As in the 1980's I often could bend "oversized" solid axles. As in the ones with flats on two sides to fit in the dropouts. Then it was purely the metal quality. Cro-mo versus mild steel.
As to Campy, only have a passing knowledge of the brand. My actual ownership has been limited to a peanut butter wrench. They don't make items I've generally been interested in using.
